• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

so who here has beaten cobalts?

Top Swapped 3800.

I however do agree on a 2.93 geared low compression SC 3800, because it took a pulley/exhaust/rockers for me to crack 100...but a 3.29'd high compression car shouldn't have any issue breaking 100+ mph by the traps with headers, ported heads/blower and a solid tune with a good driver.
 


i think the best 60' times i put down when i went were 2.3s. i'm not the best driver, but when my ET was 15.1 and my trap speed was >99mph, pretty obvious where the problem lies. not easy to launch
 
Lol, theyre not hogged out heads, just ported slightly and highly polished. ****ty WBS tune with like 12* of timing. Im going back this summer since I have a tuner now. its also on a stock pulley. D/A is pretty high here too


/ricer excuses

Raced him again. first time we were close but he was at my door till 95 when i shut down, he wasnt pulling on me.
Second time I tried to spin less, and we were pretty even while i was slowly pulling, then he missed second...
Even the best driver wouldnt be able to put more than a car on me, if that. He has CAI and full exhaust.
oh yea and im on 89 octane.
 
can you even count the second race as a race? lol i'm in first gear for all of about 40 feet. i HAVE to short shift 1-2 or i'll miss second. anything over about 5k and it's like second gear doesn't exist
 


hmmmm... interesting thought sir. i did put down a PB 2.28 60' last thursday. didn't affect ET at all... 14.5 still. little more work to do yet
 
His is ss/sc for anyone wondering. And that explains why he missed second. Oh yea i forgot he has aftermarket clutch and flywheel also.
And blue, i had 89 in it for the winter cuz my car isnt racekar enough to race in the snow, so i might as well put slow (Aka cheap) gas in. Yet i never drive it in the winter so I still had that tank on my first night home.
 
Colder the weather...more dense the air is...therefore...car knocks more.

If anything you need to run 91+ in the winter vs. the summer.

i've heard lightweight flywheels and clutches are a bad thing... any input?

Depends on the application. Low torque engines don't benefit as rotatiing mass from the heavier flywheel keeps things turning due to inertia, hence less bog. The offset is higher revs on the top side, which most street cars can't take advantage of.
