HP tuned Cobalt SS T/C & HP tuned TVS Cobalt SS S/C vs Stage 3 SRT-4
He said he I trapped the same as him in the 1/8th both on streets. He has already knocked off an 11.7 on slicks. Said he could have knocked it down to a 11.5 with the new WGA and wot but his trans ate it's self. Pretty sure he is done with the strip now. Next summer I'll be way up on power going from 22.4psi on 93 to 27/28psi on either 110 or E85. Not saying it will run it, but the car should be good for low 11's on slicks...I already have full AGP mounts..I want to keep the axles the weak link. Just hope I don't end up spending $2500 on a built trans aswell. He had a lot of passes on it so I hope I can be good with just a few visits.

That S3 SRT is moving a WHOLE lot more air than either of the Cobalts and that is apparent as they move through the gears. That 18G is running well within its efficiency range where as the LNF Cobalt almost certainly was running close to the edge of its efficiency if not off the chart. I dont think the harrop can move as much air either...

This guy never has problems or excuses. I never back down.
The Harrop has the superior powerband, but thats about it. Definitely a good thing to have, but all that goes out the window when the other two cars are making that much more peak power.

Sorry, but I'm just not a fan of people like that.

eh, that 18g on the stage 3 srt doesn't really make big peak numbers. They tend to have wide powerbands too.
Hopefully he isn't done with the strip. I hate to hear stories like this. Someone breaks something at the strip and then they are just done. That is so gay. So now he'll make claims just like he told you, "COULD have went 11.5s yadda yadda yadda" but now he'll never know for sure and just make all sorts of rediculous claims on the street.

True enough. It kind of depends on what its strapped to though. At any rate, it still doesn't have the flat curve that the TVS does. I do hear what you're saying though.

"the supercharged owner wants a rematch already and i plan to get the srt4 worked out before that. I can assure everyone the next video may not be as interesting as this one."
Just having fun.

I raced a 50trim nsrt4 from 40. I put 2 cars on him because he was spinning and had about half a car on him by the end of third, then ran out of road. On a side note, he was only running 18psi on stock dp/catback and is breaking up in high rpm. I'm surprised I did that well. The srt put down 375whp with a 3" catless tbe on 22psi.

And all the people calling it a big turbo, yeah it's bigger than stock but it's still a baby turbo for Srt's. My turbo is a bit bigger and it's still small over all.
By the way anyone notice he started a 40 roll in 3rd? That should have been way out of his powerband.
Good runs.

D44 in sig?
and yes out of the powerband for sure, i personally think if i were driving i could have made it from 2nd but the owner of the car came out of a Civic Si so its been taking me some time to get him used to not having to rev the car high to get the goods. He can drive but this is his first turbo car also the fastest car hes owned.

Nah you just have meth and a combo tune. OP's LNF on meth and a combo tune would beat that SRT-4.

well marka and ryro will agree it was all pretty quickly arranged, we did what we needed to, chilled and went about our way. I was under the impression there were no hard feelings but apparently ryro has some. If you really feel like you could have done better just let us know we will once again drive out your way for a rematch ok ryro?

when ryro14 was on his "330whp" Trifecta tune my 03' Neon RT with 2.4T swap (DCR oil flow modifier, BS delete and AC delete being only mods) running 8psi through an AGP Delta turbo , neon rt 2.25in exhaust and untuned i was working him right up til his shifter pop off the cable. Imagine that haha so im curious how he would fare with his terminator2 tune now and my 15psi
