Intake on a Cobalt = +10hp
Intake on a SRT-4 = +10db of useless noise

that should take more then a airbox mod and a BOV...

and the cobalt had 1 passenger and over a 1/2 tank gas, the SRT was just the driver. last week when we raced, I was E, not sure how much difference that would have made, though.
"well if you didn't have a passenger and your lane wasn't so much more uphill than his and if the air wasn't so much hotter on your side of the road you wouldn't have lost by as much"
so typical around here...
IM gonna post vids of me and my bro with and without a passenger and let you guys see the dead even without the passenger and the 3-6 car ownage with a passenger.... (from a 40 roll)
I have to find a day when my brother is off so we can make it, should be this week.
Edit, actually I think I have one I will look for it tongiht.

Cobalt with no airbox= cold air intake
SRT-4 with no airbox= warm air intake / noise maker
I wish i could have just pulled my air box off and make power

No Airbox means zero restriction, which almost always provides at least some HP gains. I doubt the SRT-4 air intake system is designed from the factory to be low restriction, so even factoring in the slightly warmer air (its wintertime) it should still provide a few more ponies.

Not a bad run, I was surprised you managed to stop his pull in 3rd gear.
It also sounds like you were in 3rd at the beginning and then dumped it back to 2nd when the race started. If so, bad idea. This costs valuable time.
