You should ditch the trifecta stuff. The tunes are just to much of a can tune. Yes I know how it works but if you find yourself a decent tuner with HPT you can do better then any trifecta tune.

Eric, I just might have to throw my car on the dynojet this weekend and see what happens.

well that may be your opinion, and if you know how it works then you know that they're not "can" tunes, I can Instsall a "can" tune on ss turbo's if ppl prefer, the tunes are custom made to whatever the customer wants, but again you know how it works so I guess I'm wasting your time and mine

Ha ha, yeah it was. I also was the one that went last October. Thanks for the ride Mike, you really know how to run that car . That's awesome that I'm in that pic. I don't know if I'm really showing ALL that this car can do, but its good to rep the Cobalt community. Overall I was kind of dissapointed in myself, my fastest was only a 72.161. I just need more seat time and the confidence to push the car more. Heck, I didn't even hit a cone on any of my runs. I will probably upload the video of by best run in the autocross section and see what feed back some more experienced drivers can give me.

next event ill try and take a ride with you see if i can help you out. Tires also helps a lot, the stoc ones arent bad but as soon as you go to a Dunlop star spec or something there is so much more grip the car can offer.

The wheels are spray painted lol, they will be green next event i am at with the race tires. They get hit with cones, covered in dust, taken on and off every event so no point in spending the money to powder coat them.. for me anyway.

I dont really practice i would say.. just hit up any and every event that i can. one of the most inportant things you can do if you want to get better is make it to any event you can lol, i think one year in my S2000 i had 35 events in that summer alone.

Trifecta does a really good job with the LNF. They come with Wideband from the factory so you can technically get a custom tune from him.

His LSJ stuff is just okay...

As long as you AFRs are fine, I say go for it. Try closing up the gap on your spark plugs to .030 if you are still getting spark blow out. We got to make some time to retune for that new intake. What are you doing on the 20th?

I through my first few gallons of E85 today.

Those dont look like a bad tire for the price, and I am sure if you havent autoXed before they will work just fine and last. Most autocrossers on street tires use...

Bridgestone RE-11
Dunlop Star Spec Z1
Hankook Ventus R-S3
Kumho XS

These tires offer a lot of grip but if you race a lot you will be lucky if the last one summer lol. I have run on all these tires but the new Bridgestone RE-11. The cost is way to high compared to the rest and the Dunlops are just as fast, depending on the driver.

I want to race you on the 20th!

I am going to the Brewer game on the 21st. So I can be around on the 20th if an opportunity to run an SS/TC presents itself.

Last winter I ran E85 all year long. This winter I decided to switch because I got sick of filling up my gas tank every 220 miles. Esp since I did not need the extra power that I get from E85. It was more of an convenience thing.
