depending on how much they cost, i might be willing to do it. my 2nd ecu should be coming before that day so we will see...

 

I don't think they'll be able to do any tuning the day of the dyno. He was mostly looking to see if there was enough interest to justify the investment in the dealer software in order to tune the Cobalt. If you don't have anyone else you might ask them about it.

 

well if he can locally tune my 2.2.....im all in

 

so it looks like i will be going. my girlfriend is doing a Revlon run/walk for breast cancer i think, so i will be free for most of the day. i will not be dyno-ing my car though

 

some one better get vids and pics...i wont make it to this one, already had prior engagements. lol

 

Put me down as a maybe. Thats about half the price of the local dyno and Im dying to know what this things pushing.

 

i'll be there...

 

yea i wont be going

 

Baah... Non sense Eric!

I'm putting down 230 fl lbs of trq and 185 whp!

You saying the other dyno lies! NON SENSE!

------------

Anyone want a mrz strut bar and jbp header?

I need to take off the header still, but ill let it go for 320.

 

I'll let you in on a little secret. All dynos lie. Just depends on how much and who is running them.

 

Since it was brought to my attention that I didn't have the time posted, I've edited my first post to include that info. The kick-off time for the dyno day will go at 9am and is scheduled to run until everyone has dyno'd. It looks like a decent turnout should be expected so that will probably be late afternoon/early evening. It's going to be first come, first serve, and while early is better, if you can't show up until later in the day it shouldn't be a problem.

 

eric where were you saturday for fontana's street legals...?

You missed me keeping up w/ a stock lnf like yours all day on my 3" pulley muahahahha!

bastid had a lil more top end on me... he got a 14.2 @ 101 (2.3 60') and I got 14.3 @ 99 (2.2 60')

2.8 and meth is going on next time! w/ a proper afr TUNE LOL none of this low 10s b.s.! you and me buddy!

 

Darn, would have been good to see how your car was running. I didn't get home until the wee hours of the night, crashed out, and didn't get up until late that afternoon. Too many long hour and changing from working days to graves back to days one too many times has taken its toll in the last couple months.

Did everyone get a decent amount of runs in? I figured it might be a little slower because everyone thought it would rain.

 

Well... considering how the car sits... With it's current cyl. pressure issue and all. It seems I can make it almost as quick as a STOCK lnf on a 3" pulley w/o meth.
- I think the jbp header on my car is giving me problems... its going from 1 3/4 primaries to a 3" collector, then connecting to a 2.5" flange which opens up to a 3" straight pipe the rest of the way back and out the 3" muffler. Seems if I go above anything other than a 3" pulley, which is boosting 13.5 psi @ 7000 rpm currently. With the 2.8 and meth I was able to pull 22* out of it until 6400 rpm, then dropped it to 19* @ 10.8 afr... With out meth on the 2.8, I managed to get 17-18* of timing @ 11.8 afr. And to add... the header to dp connection has a horrible leak lol... thank you jbp for your craptastic flange. The car even with it being a 3" catless is boosting more than others with the same pulley and more exhaust restrictions at the same altitude and temps.

Everyone got a really good amount of runs in. They do a great job of breaking it up into groups, and it flows very well.

Weather was in the 60s, with 65% humidity and a slight head win.

As usual tho, fontana was a hard track to get any traction at on st tires. and it took all of us all day to find out what the car likes on their crappy prep.
13 second cars anywhere else, fontana says **** you tho.

 

So you weren't running the alky injection at all Saturday? That exhaust does sound like there's some room for improvement. Cosworth Powertrain did all the development work on the engine for Ford on my SVT Focus and it has a great stainless 4-2-1 header stock. It flows perfect for high-powered naturally aspirated cars but I also may end up looking into aftermarket headers down the road. Add a lot of forced induction and they can start to bottleneck a little due to the smaller primaries.

I was hoping to take the Focus out last Saturday to get some baseline numbers before the blower gets installed. I would have been even better if I already had everything installed on the car, but I'm still waiting on a few parts and trying to figure out what I'm going to do for the tune (do it myself or try to track down the not-so-great stock Vortech flash). It's not really a quarter-mile car but I haven't had it out to a track in probably 4 years. Since it's also been 60K+ miles since I've dyno'd it I think I'll install the exhaust upgrades tomorrow and will be dynoing it Saturday. Not sure if you caught it in the SoCal chat thread, but here is what the Cobalt did at the last dyno day.

 

Your dyno looks pretty spot on... I'm curious how I would of put down had I gone that same day as you.

nope no alky

figure next time im out... I crank it up and throw the 2.8 on w/ meth on.

Dial in AFR into the mid to low 11s w/ as much timing as I can throw... prolly around 22-20*

 

looks like i probably wont be making a guest appearance on sat. too much to do, not enough money, not enough time. i better see some decent pics though

 

if i go i'll take pictures like always...

 

well im pretty sure ill be there...but dont know what time im showing up yet

 

well, i should be rolling out there with Marisa shouldnt be there b4 2:30 tho

 

why so late?

 

x's 2 come earlier!

god people cant put 2 and 2 together...

 

whose b-day?
