So do they have a board or something then? How do you know your e.t and trap then?

thanks for all the compliments. this thread is a little better then the 1st thread. figured more and more vids i post would help. lol

My car is basically. 3.5 dp, with 3" straight back.
and the bottle. Im very excited to see how much i can push the car on top of Bill Hahns tune, then get rid of the borg turbo and try the 20g

Only weak spot that ' i have come across was breaking a shifter cable end link. like GM is guessing, it gets to hot near the turbo area then cools down and get weak. even thow its a good 16" away

and the CV shafts. both mine are clicking. i have new ones at my GM back in co when i get there.
but remember i have 7,000 miles on my car and a good amount of it was at the tracks and lots of highway and dig pulls. Bang for the buck, this is 1 of the best cars i ever owned and i had over 20 cars in my time. On the trip to CO to NY cruisen at 95-100mph the whole way i still got 28 mpg.

If motor does ever pop, i will do a decent build up on it even thow the 2.0 can handle some decent power.

So a 340whp(probably more that 350wtq) car that has better gear ratios and is lighter is not supposed to hang with a mildly bolted LS1?

I could dyno my 600cc motorcycle in first gear and make it say 1000whp


Dynos are for tuning purposes.

I wish people would understand that.

Traction means a lot on the track, not so much once you are rolling... I can see where this could be possible.

Both of those cars would crash him in the 1/4 simply based on traction alone. Roll racing is a different story. The Cobalt is lighter and loses less power through the drivetrain than the RWD cars. So him staying right there with these cars is definitely believable.

Lets see YOUR 1/4 mile times next to the FireBirds. I won't knock your efforts but roll racing to me isn't worth it. Sorry.

I can vouch that the all white formula runs 12.1 at the 1/4 mile. The 30th ran a 12.5 off of the bottle. I don't think pat has ran the t/a at the track on the bottle. Stupid T56 keeps breaking haha. Jeremi I wanna see this car before you go back!

Actually im on laptop in Iowa taking a quick break. I was gonna leave sun. but have a bunch of work today in CO.

im gonna go to Bandimere / Colorado speedway on the 25th.
Well see what i can run now. since i have nitto nt01's

Gonna run the .31,35 and maybe the .38 jets

.38 makes me a lil over 100 on dyno.

So hopefully 12.X i ran a 13.5 on the .31 jet and ran 13.9 off the bottle.

Wish i could have ran it at 1/4mile sea level but damn rain outs. so ill have to deal with 8000 feet up
