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.

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.

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!

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
