F*** him, it's definitly possible. he's just a hater
that motor is 2.4L and has VVT. why can't it make solid numbers? I would take that motor over any of the honda or toyota 4 bangers.

And getting a 15 second car to run 14's is far easier then getting a 14 sec car to run 13's.

Yup I had the transmission tuned too, pulls to 7000 rpm and shifts faster then a manual evar could! 2nd gear hits and barks the tires, 3rd gear bangs so hard it'll break em loose if the road even thinks about being wet. SS Family Wagon has the same mods I do and this tune took him from a 15.8 to a 15.0 flat and hes about 3000 ft above sea level! Here on the east coast I should break a 14.99.

what did you guys spend to hit 14's?
Don't you have to take into consideration the F/I on the ss s/c? all i need to do is get a $60 pulley to crank the boost a little more.

So for $455.25 I should be running a 14.9. Thats under $500.00 hows that?

Well my bad for getting defensive. Anyway I'm getting my car dynoed again on a different dyno tomorrow.
As far as my 15.5 goes... with florida humidity and the fact that my car is auto and the fact that I'm running on pirelli all season tires I don't think it seems that far off that I'm running a 15.5. So far the fastest time I've seen posted anywhere from 2.4 that's not spraying is 15.020 and that was stick. Fastest auto I've seen has been a 15.33 and that was a coupe, which has to be lighter than my sedan. On dragtimes there is a stick running 15.39 which dynoed at 160 at the wheels on a mustang dyno. So are my numbers really that far off with an auto tranny and tires that don't grip for ****. I guess I'll see tomorrow on the other dyno.
Yeah they did that's where I noticed the most difference I had them firm the shifts up a little and raise the shift points to 6800. Maybe I need to go a little higher and firm shifts up a little more. I don't remember the name of the program used to edit it. But I'll find out for you.
By the way about the five threads those were mistakes I clicked the submit button and it wasn't going through so I kept clicking it. I guess I need to learn to be more patient. Yeah I was stoked but I wasn't that stoked about it. Especially since I'm still in the mid 15's.

I'm going to next level performance in altamonte. My appointment is at ten am. It was the only place that I could find that would actually give me a printout of the air fuel ratios so I can send it over to tune time. I think there website is nlperformance.com

Alright, let me clarify a few things. Before you start calling names and getting mad at people for telling you that your numbers are off, let me show you mine.
I took my car to the dyno (2.4L SS, automatic) and I put down less than 160HP. My track time is the fastest 1/4 mile time for an auto 2.4L confirmed on this site: 15.3 (and that's an actual time, not a corrected time).
Now, you tell me how you're putting down 173.3whp and running a 15.5 with the same car? People were just pointing out that your numbers don't add up.

No. I think he's just misinformed. I don't doubt that his dyno graph reads 173.3hp. I think the dyno is a little off. First off, he would run a much faster 1/4 mile if he really put 173HP down to the ground. Second, those mods are not going to produce 173whp. I'm sorry, they just won't on this car. I have all of his mods, and more. I'm not putting down anywhere near that HP. Don't get me wrong... I love the car. I love the fact that more people are getting out there and modding it. I don't think he's bullsh*tting us either. I think he just doesn't realize that the dyno is inflating his numbers a tad.

I put down 153.5HP. With those mods, I ran a 15.335 at 90.27MPH (uncorrected).
I have:
Injen Intake
Full Cat-less 2.5" Exhaust with straight-through muffler
34# Injectors
Tranny Cooler
Custom Tuning
You explain how he could be putting down more power when all he has over me is a header. While you're at it, tell me why he's only running a 15.5 (or even his 15.39 corrected) and I'm running a 15.335 (uncorrected)?

Some people "correct" their 1/4 mile times by calculating what they "should" have been if the track was at sea level and a certain air temp. I think it's bull.

Hey, don't look at me. I hate the idea of "corrected" 1/4 mile times. The OP was the one that mentioned corrected times. I don't correct any of my track times. They are what they are.

The dyno I'm wanting to go to now had that same cobalt that ran 15.1 it only put down 125 on this dyno and a ss/sc put down 180ish,so every dyno is different and pretty much means nothing in my eyes,like I said in my earlier post the dyno I went to a few months ago had the new SI put down 156, thats 156 from a 197 hp car and I 155,so something tells me that my 155 might be more than anothers 2.4 with little boltons getting 173
