I have a 2.2 cobalt coupe with injen air intake and soon this Monday 5/12/08 Im getting a zex 55 shot nitrious system giving me about 215-220 horse roughly what cars can I compete with now

 

a stockish ss sc

 

you do know that "shot" is the size of the jet, not the HP you gain right?

 

anyone slower than you.

 

newbs

smart ass

 

any car that run high 14s or slower maybe

 

I couldn't resist.

I hate the weak pointless questions. Just do the research. Find out how much hp you have approximately. Subtract a little to be sure, and then get on Google. In 10 minutes he could find all the cars that he runs with. Not to mention that hp may not even be the best way to approach this. What he should really do is run it down the track, get a stead-fast ET and then do his research.

 

not even unless the SS/SC sucks

you should be able to beat high 14sec./low 15sec. cars though

just make sure everything you race is stock and you'll be okay

 

A 75 shot is about 30 to the wheels dude.

 

Way off.

A 55 jet will net you around 25-30 whp. A 75 jet will net around 45-50 whp.

I have sprayed many cars and this formula usually remains true.

 

wrong wrong wrong!!

the shot is the amount the HP is all dependent on how well tuned the engine is and how easily it makes its power.

 

according to Zex, "shot" is a slang term for the horsepower setting you are currently using

to me, that means HP level that you are shooting for...which can vary by bottle pressure. i've seen some tests where they supposedly match the shot size to HP at the wheels on a dyno (i believe this was done with an NX kit)

on a 75 shot, IonFeright if I remember correctly dyno at 180whp and 210wtq which is close enough IMO

 

Sorry but you are also wrong on this. A jet is designed to give you a certain amount of flow. You can only tune so much out of this set amount of extra boost that you're getting otherwise the companies that make nitrous products wouldn't rate the nossles in HP....

 

i love how the 2.2 is so slow......

 

just put the kit on and then see what it is over stock. im done with this

 

spray is cheeating

 

no such thing as cheating unless you siphon the gas from your competitor.

 

??? didnt kno u were doing something with this in the first place

 

That is why I have decided to just go with appearance mods and save my money to build a rwd car for the power. I have a 73 Camaro and an 82 Firebird I could build. Also a 72 Grand Prix for cruising. Some day I may even be able to find the time to build a chassis to set my 34 Ford Pickup cab onto.

No amount of money is going to make my 2.2 cobalt fast enough to justify it.

 

A stock 2.2L... You probably run low 15's maybe high 14's if your a good driver.

 

Hey... if they can make a mini-van into a turbine powered race craft... imagine what you could do with a cobalt. You'd have to had like 3 tons of weight to the front end so you wouldn't actually fly... but it would be fast none the less.

 

a yugo

 

i was running the same set up on my 2.2... honestly useing the spray on our car is jusy gonna put you up there with a stock honda si.. but thats only when you use spray ... but to answer your question you could probably be able to pull on any car... on the back of a flat bed

 

Same way how i feel... To me the cobalt is like a lat 90's model eclipse.. You can get them to look real nice but they will always be slow... To me not even the SC's are mind blowing fast..

If i want to go fast ill get a car made for it.. if i want a nice little peppy car that gets nice gas mileage and looks nice as a casual DD i will get a cobalt .. just like i did..

Why spend so much money making something fast when u can buy something fast and just make it faster... Its such a cheaper and imo smarter way to do things...

 

I'm just tired of pointless discussions. If the OP is serious about doing the N2O install then do it and post the results. other wise there is no way to know what the car will make on the dyno
