fernando just give up on the dyno numbers.lol. we know ur car is ungodly fast and kills on the road.lol

 

lol...ungodly...lol...man i just want to know u know what i mean...and well ill post both sheets up

 

Hmm... that's a good question. Because I can?

Nearly all of them have been paid off for years and I like playing around with them. Most aren't worth a whole lot either, so its not like I've got a garage full of Hemi Cudas and big block Camaros. Also a few of my cars I've had since back when I was in high school in the mid '90s. Unfortunately with my work the last couple years I don't have as much time to wrench and play around as much as I'd like.

 

well...thats alot of oil changes...do you drive them all....a different one each day..lol




im pretty sure both of these have been in second gear now that i think about it

 

i didnt really search on here, but i know for a fact i saw somewhere that you have to get it to go in what ever gear you want, then you pull the tcm/trans fuse or vss i cant remember and it locks it in that gear... (its worth trying both)

also, your running those numbers threw a auto tranny so there gonne be generally a 17-19% drivetrain loss (approx) i dont think they are that bad for an auto! but im sure your making more...

 

o i know im making more than what the sheet says....if i can stay ahead of an ss/tc in stock form (cuz we all know full bolt ons dont do anything for them until they are tuned)...im def sure that this was a second gear pull...ill look that thread up and see if i can hit them up some other time as they are fairly close to me...didnt take more than 20mins to get there

 

hmm so then a cobalt is a cobalt so that would equal to you having at least 225ish whp and 230ish wtrq... granted your an auto and dont have to shift gears so you might need a little less hp and trq to keep up with a new t/c.

what did the srt-4's dyno @? what was the highest hp car that dyno'd? wish i could of made it...

 

perhaps...i wish they had a punching bag there...lol

but i love the way she sounds. i heard you guys talking about my exhaust. i think you asked julio what kind of exhaust im running. its custom from jardine motorsports. i had the hookup there but not anymore as they are going out of business soon

 

yeah it sounds good! what did the orange srt put down?

 

well the highest one that i saw was from the orange one that i posted up top...he dynoed 400hp...well it was 399 but pretty much 400

 

nice? was he on a 50 trim? or? it looks pretty wild

 

no clue...the only thing i know about that car is that it use to be a show car or probably still is

 

Nah, I bet it was third gear. If you took any vids of the pull you should be able to watch as the dyno drum speedo hit well over a hundred. That and 2nd gear would have more than likely made a bigger torque spike but less hp as it wouldn't have loaded the car as much.

Automatics suck out a large amount of power compared to a manual car. What you have to look at is your torque curve which is reasonably healthy and pretty flat. Go over all the little things that are robbing a horsepower here and there and you should be able to get those number up even higher. While your automatic may sap power in the upper gears, the torque converter is also heavily multiplying torque in the lower gears. That's probably why in the first couple gears it feels like it's pulling a lot harder than the numbers appear.

What would really help give you an idea how the car is running would be to get some quarter-mile track numbers to compare it to. Looking at your trap speeds at the 330', 660', 1/8, and 1/4-mile marks would be a good way to back up the dyno numbers and see how you car is making power.

Looking at the results thread on the srt site, I'm pretty sure the highest was a 472/462 and 532/546 on the bottle. He mentioned they were only able to take it up to 5500 rpm so it would have had more in it. That should have been one of the white cars (not heavily modified on appearance stuff). I think a few others were over 300 and some of the lightly modified cars were in the mid to upper 200's.

 

yea ive been meaning to get to the track.....ill make it one of these days

 

hmmm i wonder if one of those skittles was big dave. Wish u could of gone chris. They would have **** themselves to see a cobalt put down 400.lol. Hey is that a twin brother i see parked next to ferdinand?lol. btw nice wheels man

 

fixed
lol...more like distant cousin...i heard shes single...lol...and thanks on the wheels...i got a good deal on both wheels and tires...but i already lost a center cap and its 24 bucks to replace it

 

lol well thats usually what happens when u get **** for a good price.lol. But id be careful what u say about julio. I know somtin u dnt know and pretty soon that car might be killin urs.lol

 

i heard hes going to baby it and put it on the bottle....

but what did i say...that its a distant cousing of my car...i dont think i was talking ****

 

how do u get 169 on a gt28 lol

 

i have no clue...im still trying to figure this out cuz i was actually pushing 14lbs at a few points...i dont know...**** it...i just know its feels dam good on the street

 

 

well fernando its ok i feel the same way about my numbers and my car, but you have an excuse its an auto but i dont have ****

 

maybe they are dynoing in the wrong gear? or maybe something is wrong with ur set-up are u holding boost?

 

Ill post my numbers right now im having problems with the scanner

it was nice meet you guys a

 

thats the thing cuz i know im not but that still wouldnt explain my numbers
