Your trapping some solid MPH. mines in my sig.... Not as good but track prep is shitty. get that 60ft down and you will be in the 13s easy. my best mph is 104 and our track prep is horrible. im spinning in third with GMS1
It wont even do that on the street if that says anything.

13.9 @ 103 bone stock from dealership(under 3k on car).It took me 20+ passes through the summer to get it in the 13's one time lol. I felt like I accomplished something

I only had 4 passes.. Never even got to try anything else but two runs using launch control (fail) and two runs just manually figuring out a good rpm to start at. I have my winters on right now... Wonder if I should go to the strip and see how they fair haha

I cut my best time with the aid of the aforementioned "sports equipment". Pretty inexpensive mod and effective imo. Good if you're on a budget or (like me) don't plan on frequenting the track. I'm getting the bug to go back and actually try some throttle/clutch modulation to better my 60' (2.24 iirc). I left somewhere around 22-2500 and just put it to the floor,lol. 1-2 @ 5500 ; nls 2-3 @ 6200.

Don't feel too bad. I've had a cleaned driving record for 25 years + and my insurance is more than his.. It's the car we drive and depending on where you live reflect the rates as well. If peoples keep crashing and or stealing the car, we all will be paying for it in the end. My insurance for my winter beater 98 Integra cost almost the same as my SS. I need to move, get rid of the Teg, and find a new insurance company....

Ha Ha How about ABS spacers. to limit the squat

Both of these passes were made with a DA of over 7000ft. The track is at 5800ft above sea level too.

This is with only GMS1 and a Hahn CAI:

This is with GMS1, CAI, Catless DP, and a ZZP bolt-in budget FMIC:

If I could get closer to sea level and run some drag radials, I'm pretty confident I could get a 12.9 out of it.

I'm actually shooting for a 12.9 this season. I'm getting tuned and I'm gonna run some drag radials. Being at almost double the altitude you're at sucks.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I swear Kretty ran 12.7X@113mph with boltons and GMS1 tune...

109 here

That is not possible. A 113 Trap with just a GMS1 tune. That would be besting the fastest, most perfect GMS1 run by more than 1/2 a second, and out trapping it by over 6 MPH. They would have to have been not telling the total truth about their mods.

*** and more like 13.7@104 https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/drag...turday-228820/

Sounds pretty farfetched to me as well. These are all just claims anyway; I could post up my timeslip (if I knew how,lol) but it wouldn't prove what tune I was on.

drewbroo

iTrader: (2)

Your time isn't that farfetched at all... 12's pushing over 113, sounds just a lil farfetched for GMS1

cranemaster

im thinking my 1500FT elevation should be on my side, with my 2.6 launches i was trapping 106-107



Also that video is the ZZP stock airbox mod ONLY, e85 tuned cobalt.. effectively stock physically. NOT GMS1

from my experience, highest trap speed and lowest E/T's are going to be totally differnt runs.

AN ideal run, with the best possible E/T is going to use optimised launch RPM & shift points ~ which will yeild lower MPH;
on the other hand, higher MPH trap speeds will be dumping the clutch off the line, and generating speed ~ instead of focusing on getting to the traps as quickly as possible...

using the MPH from your best E/T's, you can make a very good estimation of how much power a vehicle makes...

When I ran my car (stock, and in 2010) IIRC my highest trap speed was 105 ~ it was on my very first run, in which I got three gears of rubber...
my best ET was 6-7MPH slower than that run...

BAH-HA-HA!!!

it won't - as mentioned earlier, trap speed on an ideal run is an idicator of power made - if anything the 60ft could be improved;
iirc for every 1/10th of a second you can shave off of your 60' - you're supposed to gain 2/10th's at hte top end;
plus I believe it's said that for evey 100lbs of weight you can shed, you can stand to gain 1/10th on the top end...

^^exactly what I was talking about - your worse 60 will indicate your tires are spinning ~ so that when you do eventually get traction (at the expense of time) - you will be travelling at a higher rate of speed...

My personal bests might be seen as laughable by some here - but my track (which just closed down btw) generally had a Denistiy Altitude of roughly 6,000ft;
that being said, I generally would have 2.1xx-2.2xx 60 foot times.

posts like this is why I haven't mentioned my E/T's...

it's very easy to on a website think you're faster than someone without taking into account conditions, and how they have a negative impact on E/T's...

I haven't a clue on how to do correction factors for my cobalt since it's turbo'ed - and supercharged & turbo'd cars have a much smaller correction fact or than naturally aspirated...
as an example, my other FWD car I've gotten a personal best of 15.2 at the local track - once I correct for density altitude this goes down to a 14.4...

moral of the story: for identical cars, and equal drivers, the run made closer to sea level will be faster...

ok... after this post I'll share my best;

14.3 @ 98mph

my worst (iirc) was 14.5 @ 105mph

the track is at something like 5,500ft - and DA bumps it up to normally around 6,000ft

I need to stress, my car was 100% stock ~ even Edmonton's track is at a lower elevation, and cars generally are a couple tenth's quicker...

So you are telling me with a straight face... with 277WHP/303Ftlbs you are running a 12.7@113 on a stock GMS1 tune. And fastcop verified doesn't mean much of anything. You are besting the fastest GMS1 here by more than a 1/2 second. And the tq management alone in the GMS1 tune will hold you back. Lets see the time slip.
