my original goal was 270 to the tire. hit it, actually went over it by 3. got greedy. changed pullies and injectors. leaned on it some more. 272 runnin 10.6 afr. pulled some fuel. 276. pulled more fuel. 280. left it alone.
guess what. i STILL want more, but with what im doing will reduce cylinder pressures and inturn gain me more power. so it's a half ass win win deal.
once you taste power. you will always want more.

wanted 300whp, got it and then beat it...now its 425 and well see from there.
The 390's are my drag radials, which I need to run in the domestic class on street legal days. Street legals are where I will practice getting accustomed to the new power.
I will be talking to him tomorrow for my weekly update.
Well I already have 2 LSJ's and they will be pushing 1,100 - 1,200bhp. We have built for more but we will be satisfied coming in between those numbers, which means we will surpass the 750whp goal by at least 100whp

5.3 is very easy, just slap 2 turbo's on it, bigger injectors and a fuel pump... good to go lol.
LSJ, well all parts are finally ready to go, but my motor building budget is on hold til I get the new turbo first since I still drive the car everyday.... soon though soon

You guys are all too funny. I see the same problem you have, in my own project, "the need for just a bit more"
I started this project with the goal of "just 350whp"
That went to 550whp and then it has slowly crept upward ever since.
The upnside for you guys is that you have been able to still drive your Cobalts, of and on, during your process. By doing this the way I am, I will have to learn to drive my car, all over again.
Not that, that will be a chore to do.
