Turbo would be the best way to go from what I've seen. It seems to put out a good amount of power and more reliable. The ratio of people that have/had a tvs is pretty high. I'm pretty sure all of them blew their motor because the tune wasn't perfect, but hey if you can get a really good tune then go with tvs.

 

Nitrous is the cheapest way and its not unreliable. Just get someone who can tune and don't spray every single time u drive lol. The motor is strong enough for a 50-75shot no problem plus it will not affect ur mpg or drive ability.
Tvs is a waste of money barely anyone makes over 300whp

 

Anyone have a spare dash trim that goes around the radio. Mine is peeling a little and I just discovered a crack at the top of it today

 

have not heard anyone blowing up cuz of their tvs...explain if possible.. and what turbo kits do you know of besides hahn ?

first of all if i ran nitrous it would be with my current set up but i would prob go down to a 2.9 pulley which i think is still pushing it with a 75 shot ... second i have my doubts about myself keeping my finger off the button everyday lol... and third zack says he can get me around 320 330 whp on 91 with meth... may not be that much of a power increase for the money but my research tells me that would be the safest way as far as reliability goes

 

zack made those same numbers on 60s, 2.8, and 75shot on 93octane tho. even 50shot would be a good increase and give u better power than a tvs. just my 2cents

maybe we will then get to see a tvs, meth, and supporting mods lsj vs 2.9, 42s, 75shot, and supporting mods lsj

 

lol i hope ur not talkin bout chriss he isnt runnin his spray anymore ... lame

 

would be a good race if he did

 

if you think nitrous is so great why didnt / arent you using it ?

 

no point in spraying my car til i get my trans. but that will prolly be my final mod if i want to hit under 12.9, heads/cam or s/c is expensive as hell for v8s. cant beat 50-100hp for 700bucks or less specially since LSx motors love spray
and didnt use it in the cobalt cuz i wanted to run a different setup if i kept it to be different since chris had spray. was gonna do ported head, valve springs, and meth (had in my trunk for a month)

 

oh lol wats ur quickest et with the tb

 

we will see later this month. going saturday to see if i can squeeze anymore out of my tune and make sure everything is perfect for the strip. still debating if im gonna take weight out. but i'll prolly take weight out if i dont run wat i want

 

Drew is a beezy

i know you have taken it to the drag strip wats ur best so far

 

i havent gone yet lol

 

That's ******' sick Joe. I wish I had some extra $ to do this.

 

how much is it

 

stock car? i dont think my car will pass the sound lvl for exhaust in laguna seca
did you bottom out on the corkscrew?

 

An arm & a leg

 

from that group 300, with speedventures it varies

 

sideskirts 150...

wingless trunk needs paint..125

ss front and rear bumper 150 each

 

ur not going wingless? or is just a spare

 

spare i have to much ****.....i have a wingless keyless trunk on my car

 

Yep yep. Track Masters Racing is absolutely the best I've run with (Haven't had the chance to run with SpeedVentures though...)

$300 is just about the cheapest you can run at Laguna Seca and Track Masters Racing doesn't put a **** load of cars on track like other groups (I'm looking at you NASA).

Pretty much stock. GMS1, Nitto NT05 tires, Cobalt Friction XR1 pads, super blue brake fluid. No bottoming out on the corkscrew There were a whole bunch of guys getting dinged on the sound restrictions. Some cars had ridiculous muffler setups so they could pass.


That's 425... That could buy a lot of track time at Thunderhill


Start buying lotto tickets!

 

interested in trunk any pics ?
