Does it work the other way? like an American guy in another country, like foreign girls here. BTW I met a french girl my family knows( her mother was an exchange student years ago and we stayed in touch) that was the first time I understood why chicks go crazy over foreign accents lol So hot.

okay, IDK how trifecta works but would they update my tune for me or would I be basically buying a new tune? I was planning to get a tune in the near future but cams were in the waiting list. Would it be best to just do it all at once?

If you get a tune now and put cams in your car later u'll probably have to pay for a new tune. I forget, but I know when my old 2.2 was cammed a tune was deff needed, and jason copson20 had stage 1 cams and a tune was needed for him as well

it may be the same motor, but in a different car that is a totally different weight and has the weight positioned differently therefor different weight transfer its not comparable.
its almost like comparing the ariel atom to an ss/sc...it doenst work that way

good times none the less...just not the same
...you're comparing an ION to a cobalt...correct?
they're almost identical cars.... have near identical weights (ion's like 50lbs lighter)...identical engine positions, identical engines, identical transmissions, identical platforms.... you can definitely say its a fair comparison to compare an ion to a cobalt.

from what i understand ( if its who i think it is) his car only weighed about 2100lb when raced...that is NO WHERE NEAR THE SAME as my car is at about 3k when tracked....
that changes EVERYTHIGN about the car

dont know, i just know that someone was talking about this time in an ion right after i ran my time and this matches up...and if he did run the car that light then it isnt even close to being comparable

could be, i dunno lol
i just know that on street tires,without a vid of the run, it either did not happen running N/A (boost or n2o) or he was light as hell when it happened...or he was on drag radials...
it did not happen at full weight, with no other power adders, on street tires lol

i dont even know of any cavaliers that light.. hell the time attack balt which underwent HEAVY weight reduction still weighed 2350lbs. regardless, i didnt know you were referring to a stripped down ion, opposed to a stock interior one

then the scale was off. these cars are not 2500lb cars...lol
the lightest ones are 2800 or so, but that would be a zero option LS with manual trans. No extra weight in heated seats, power window motors, door lock solenoids, sunroof equipment, smaller/lighter wiring harness throughout the car, lighter oil pan (less oil), no trunk mats or floor mats, etc. a fully loaded ss/sc or ss/tc is probably around 2950lbs

you can only really strip 150lbs before you start removing the interior

drag radial, I have video at 15.01 first day this year and no tuning on that day

that true nobody will do 14s with full interior and street tires.

but ¼miles is ¼ miles
if you like that as much as I do, you will do anything you can to break your own time.
I dont care that I m racing against a 13S car but if that run I break 14s for first time
it so a nice feeling to pass under 15s with a tupperware on 4 wheel

14,8 with a 127whp on a mustang dyno
14,9 with a 180whp on a dyno jet
interresting
what do you thing about that.

i declare war against you lol
at the end of september the one who win will revceive a virtuel beer from the slower lololol

that the better win
virtuel shaking hands lol
