me too... i luv to race the ss cobalts... and power to wt ratio play's a big factor in any race. as for now the fastest ss i have gone up against is the turbo one. the superchargered ones just do not keep up as good stock for stock...

Not to be a jerk but is your sig for real or is it BS, seems a little odd if not borderline made up.

Good. Sorry for being a smart ass then. Yeah Stage 2 cars run great. Now, My buddies and I have confirmed that my car was somewhat of a factory-freak too. It dyno'd 5+ horses on a consistent basis over other stockers...so I believe mine isto an exception but only to an extent, so I don't want it to sound like any stage 2 SS/SC can pace an LS1 GTO...because I believe all cars are different, maybe being a "factory-Freak" or just being that it was broken in correctly..IDK, I just know mine has proven to be an exception.

I don't think I will be the first or only person here to say I think the information you entered into the dyno program was a bit off. None of those numbers look right some are way to high and one is a bit too low unless it was running a **** tune.

That link takes you directly to all of our results of our dyno day in August. Dyno sheets and description of everyone's mods included. I am Jarred in the red. 238@202 Airbox Mod
As for SlowSho, welcome to my ignore list ... Never knew I had it.

Nice "switch-aroo" of my words hotshot!
238@200 TQ - stock #'s...And That photo was the first time I dynoed the car...two weeks before our dyno day. How I picked up 7 horses and 7 lb/ft of torque, your guess is as good as mine.
See, unlike others I can be modest. And I wasn't boasting.

what i mean: if your car was a freak you would have been going 100-102 stock. if it were a freak, stage 2 would have netted you 106-108. you trapped 102 with stage 2 correct?

no jared we have already had this convo! i told you what your car would trap if it was a freak stock, and it did that with stage 2 just like i said!

Yepper, 102.7. Hence keywords "somewhat and to an extent" ..but hey I was just proving on dyno... which is what everyone else believes here...prove it with dyno #'s...But hey, I was being modest no boasting and I couldn't care LESS...
And it's two r's in my name Stu, and don't forget to capitalize the first letter too.

sorry bro, im not good with names lol. however, you were proven wrong about the dyno numbers. trap speeds indicate you are just like stage 2 cars everywhere. thats not a bad thing, its just what it is.
