Im looking to run a 13.9 1/4 mile
So far i have gm stage 2, k and n drop in filter and vibrant 3" exhaust. Right now im running 14.4 1/4 mile times. Yeah pretty slow, im not the best driver i have only been out to the track 3 times in my cobalt. If i put on a zzp dual pass plate is it safe to run a 2.9 pully with my set up? And can someone PLEASE explain to me what the option "b" is!? Thank you.

^^^^^TRUE!^^^^^ Practice your launch the most!! dont dump the clutch ever you will just spin w/out slicks. lower your tire pressure to about 18lbs or so at the track and do a burnout not in the water box not needed on streer tires. Go off the tree like a normal stop light ease on the gas in first then floor it once you hit second you should be golden. Also relax have fun out there dont overly excited its you and the clock!

ya me and bl4des b4 he got tune the 2.9 SUCKS on a stg2 tune DO NOT TAKE IT TO THE TRACK the 2.9 is faster at first but the original 77.9 (or w.e original stg2 pulley is) cuz its faster in the long run other ppl may disagree but we did a full pepsi challange and that was our conclusion
if u do shift at like 6 grand or yull already be out of your power band

lol i would but i love how loud my exhaust is. I think i just need more mods to use its full potential. haha. Is this true about the 2.9 pully? could it of been that you were having heat soak without cooling modifications?

LSD wont make that big of a diff. I have an 05 without lsd and ran a 14.2@99mph with a 2.3 60' time.
We have a guy here in florida ran a 13.0 @108 on gm stg 2 tune and a 2.9

The only way you're spinning one is if you have some serious mechanical problems or your track blows.

LSD would help alot... helps you hook up.
