Because you also own a Cobalt, so you hear 30r and you probably think to yourself it should make 500whp.

What you don't realize is that in the real world all those pretty numbers you think should automatically happen arent as easily attained as you construe in your mind.

 

Guys, look at my post before. Maybe that will explain shutzero's numbers for you.

 

who races with a cobalt?

 

you are looking way to far into it. The point is, that those LSJ times I posted are using a power robbing blower far out of it's efficiency range. And the LNF times are using a tiny turbo with boost levels far out it's efficiency range, as well as having to shift early since power peaks so early on those stock turbos.

This guy has a 30r, WTF is he doing running mid 12's at only 112mph? Lame. I wouldn't go buy a power adder that cost well over grand by itself (that's not including the other parts, i.e. intercooler, piping, wastegate, manifolds, etc.) and make the same power as some stock blower LSJ's and some stock turbo LNF's. Kind of embarrasing if you ask me.

 

Steddy is teh funnay

 

But his car will slaughter yours, and he's not even pushing the turbo...

 

bullshit, it doesn't take a 30r turbo conversion to run a mid 12 in a cobalt. And if it does take someone all that money and time to do that, then that's their personal fault and failure.

It can be done with far less money, and not even having to upgrade power adders.

I'm not in a place to try and make this argument. I'm in Germany, my car is in Nebraska. But I would beg to differ.

 

You act as if its so easy to get a stock blower/turbo Cobalt into the mid 12's. Thats why no one has done it with the LSJ, and only 1 person has a quicker time in the LNF.

If it was so easy everyone would just keep the stock **** and run it to the ragged edge and everyone would run mid 12's.

You have a list where ONE person has run faster out of how many people total on the lists? 100? 200?
Your logic is seriously flawed.

 

maybe my expectations are too high.

My logic, which may be flawed, but seems pretty simple in my complex mind: I ran a mid 13 barely modded, I ran a low 13 with bolt ons. I haven't had the chance to run again after the head work. The car could have hit 12's with just a few minor things here and there with just the bolt ons.

30r? pretty good size turbo, 12.5 is it?

 

I give up. lol

He got the kit with the upgraded turbo so that later on when he had the funds to build the block he could get more aggressive with the tune.

 

Don't bother, 99% of these stock turbo stock blower cars run **** for times, 1 person goes fast so now everyone is fast.

30r should run mid 11s no problem. Turn key and go, if it doesnt, it's an epic failure.

 

^completely understandable. I just wouldn't be happy even on "low" boost or that "conservative" setting.

sorry for being ignorant. I was raised in the south.

 

Is there a reason why you talk to everybody on here like they dont know **** about how much power cars are suppose to make?

 

Because they don't know **** about how much power cars are supposed to make. The kid runs 12.5 @ 112 and makes 325whp and you're all saying how WEAK that is.
HA. Show me one m62 car making that kinda power, and show me 1 lnf car that makes that power for more than 100rpm.

 

Your a tard.

Granted a 30R is more capable than that. Personally I ran similar times with a much smaller turbo. But, the thought of turn key and go 11's is ignorant to say the least.

 

You fail for seeing the sarcasm, and backing out of our race. You were supposed to be at Wendies.

What'd you realize your car didn't stand a chance?

 

no he wasnt.

 

** Wendy's

I was there. Like every sat night. Where were you?

 

I have a 17 inch slick up front. Running 24 psi. I know that on streets I can trap in the 114-115 range, so with pookie I think he will win. Depends on what they run to, say 40-110 I call pookie, but after that the 30r will still be pulling.

 

omg i cant wait!!!!!!!!!!!!! i want this dude to like come in this fourm. i dont want any beef or any thing i love racing, and ill go to ny to race him/meet him

 

let me correct you on this one.



his peak boost is 22psi. he HAD meth on the car until last week when he came over, and i unhooked it and put it back on a none meth map. why? wasn't working. when he ran last spring on those 12 second runs. he did not have meth on the car.

why do i know this? i am the one who tunes his car.

 

Kill mode.

 

not kill mode either

 

I hope you're not serious. If you are, you're a ******* retard.

 

calm down. you are probably the biggest idiot on this site. I sense the sarcasm in your first sentence. Now use a little brain power and figure out if i did the same somewhere in my post. idiots...
