I was just cruising with my buddy, who owns a SRT4 stage two. This brand new 5.0 with his gf pulls up next to us and begins to rev his engine...I immediately smile and nod. I go to honk it off and as I go, he stays in place. He catches up and they both laugh at me, this happens twice

The third time I yell, "What?? You scared a little cobalt will show you up?" He didn't think it was too funny so he downshifts and honks off at 40. He instantly puts half a car on me but by third gear, I have a sold 1 1/2 almost 2 cars on him till I shut down at about 90.

He wasn't smiling after that. He wanted another go so this time, my buddy with the SRT4 joins in and we all start at 35. Once I start to put almost a car on him he shuts down and I shut down at 80ish.

I apologize for the video quality as it's from a POS phone

 

You are 312, 375 off those mods? And congrats on the kill.

 

Dynojet, literally dyno'd yesterday we're at about 6000ft above sea level (1830m)

 

True story, literally was on the dyno yesterday. Thank you btw, I was also surprised by the numbers ;D

 

Wait till you see Term's tune

 

I talked to him last night. He said he can get me in the 330ish whp and 400wtq on 91 Oct...stoked!

 

330ish hp on stock turbo, I wouldn't. he will bump ur boost to like 27 psi, that's just a rebuilt engine waiting to happen. don't do it. I know term's great tuner and all....I thought he quite....but I wouldn't push that stock turbo like that.

Its always fun to do that to mustang drivers. lol they are like the civic of the faster car world. they are faster than the average car, but everything else is still faster and they think they are the fastest thing on 4 wheels. lol

 

The turbo can handle it and it wont require 27psi, he doenst shut off KR so the ecu protects the engine really well with KR. Hell another member here has been on Terms tune for well over 20k spiking to 29psi.

 

Is he still tuning? I'm interested in looking for a good tuner and for now I'm trying to get a hold of 09cobaltss1 for my tune but no response. If I still don't hear anything from him and term2 is still tuning then I want him to be my tuner. LOL

 

No it won't require that must boost up at my elevation. I'm on a 23 psi tune but I'm only pushing 20-21lbs on average runs, spiking up to 24, based on my aeroforce

From how Term explained it, because the air is less dense, pushing 26-27 psi would be the equivalent to running 23-24 psi at sea level.

 

that makes sense.

 

Hit up Term and ask, a few local guys bought him a cable because they didnt trust anyone else, so he's at least tuning LNFs.

Exactly, atmospheric pressure here is about 12psi, where sea level its 14.5

 

I was wondering how you beat an intake, exhaust, tuned 5.0 on 312whp. Then I seen the elevation. That kind of elevation murders NA cars.

 

Yeah it definitely wouldn't have been the same at sea level, especially on 91 lol. Although, I believe TQ wins races, not HP. Horsepower is the flow or limit at which tq or power is delivered, similar with electricity concerning volts and amps. Of course, there's always the weight/power ratio as well as the many other factors XP

Cobalt FTW

Ok, Thanks...

 

A lot of kids here seem to forget that elevation kills the NA power.

 

So did you get out and talk to this guy? How do you know his mods? And there is no race in that video. You guys are just driving and then he hits his brakes before you. Unless you were playing chicken with the stop light...

 

You are right the turbo will be seeing 28-29 psi max but that is deceptive because that is not what the engine sees. At nearly 6000ft where he lives baro pressure is 81 kpa (11.7psi) not 101kpa (14.65 psi). So about 3 psi lower than sea level. This means, as far as the engine is concerned, 28 psig is the same as 25 psig at sea level (the absolute pressures are the same). Yes the turbo is spinning hard but how many K04 s have failed if the cars owner uses the proper oil and changes it at proper intervals? Very few.

 

Up here the cops are really cracking down on street racing with like a $485 fine and impound ding your car for 7 days

 

that's it? here its 600+ fine, loose ur licence for over a year, and idk how long impound is

I assumed as much when I thought about it

 

Are you serious? That's insane!!

 

[QUOTE=tomj77;7351756]that's it? here its 600+ fine, loose ur licence for over a year, and idk how long impound is



Well you do have a very good chance of your license being taken as a report of the incident goes to the MVB and they will most likely lift your license

 

It's similar in CO, something like 12points which is automatically a license suspension for at least 6months

 

In some cases up here in BC if the cops want to do the extra work they can seize your car for good then it goes up for public auction

 

Same here, but they crush some of them instead of selling them
