You definitely need to test your rev limiter... as USMCFieldMP stated already; if you cannot rev to 7k you got jipped.

Is that a serious question?

You are basically asking how a 350-400whp Cobalt stacks up to a 240whp (295whp if tuned well) Cobalt.

If your car doesn't rev to 7k... then you got jipped.
she revs past wht the stock does, i jus dont ever rember seein 75 on the dash, maybe 70, im gonna try it out and see exactly what it rreads at rev limiter, maybe it does, but the only time i take iot to extremes before the limiter is when i need it wile racing, it has enough torque to shift it a little early an still be good, i ws drivin today and wnted to try it, but forgot 2

Eh not yet. It's still too new. It only has 4,300 miles on it. I don't want to hack it up yet. STS kit will go on summer 2010. Z06 comes first.

Clearly the ss/sc stg2 is no joke even without supporting mods. Good race for sure.

that seems about right and since the ss/sc should have been stg 2 stock there isnt really much difference from a roll it will be a drivers race and from a dig the advantage will go to the TC due to luanch controll but it still has potential to be a very close race add an intake and exhaust to the SC and it will probly walk the TC from a roll and be a really close race from a dig

Maybe a little late but here are the numbers for our tranny:

Gear Ratios:
  • First: 3.38
  • Second: 1.76
  • Third: 1.18
  • Fourth: 0.89
  • Fifth: 0.7
  • Reverse: 3.17
  • Final Drive Ratio: 4.04

With 7000rpm redline:

Top Speed in 1 gear = 39.065 MPH
And changes into 2 gear at 3707 RPM dropping 3293 RPM
Top Speed in 2 gear = 73.764 MPH
And changes into 3 gear at 4615 RPM dropping 2385 RPM
Top Speed in 3 gear = 111.897 MPH
And changes into 4 gear at 5280 RPM dropping 1720 RPM
Top Speed in 4 gear = 148.358 MPH
And changes into 5 gear at 5506 RPM dropping 1494 RPM
Top Speed in 5 gear = 188.626 MPH

Numbers generated by plugging in our gear ratios into Quaife's speed calculator: QSpeedCalc.exe

well from what i had heard luanch controll was pretty good but i have no experience with it so i was just going off what i heard. but if you are better off launching normaly then it will really come down to the driver especially w/ the amount of tourqe put down by the TC @ just 2000 rpm. either way stg2 vs stock is a drivers race with the advantage to the TC

Which trans is that, you have 6 gears, with a 4.04 final drive... I thought the LNF used a 3.82 or so final??

Oh damn I copy/pasted the wrong ratios. Thats for the quaife 6-speed conversion. Edited the right one into my post. Trans is the F35 as configured in the SS S/C.
