LOL. Your to most butt-hurt little boy I've seen on YT. It's great. Again your not a true enthusiast and you've proven it again. To note the 4door Sedan's are hardly slower and with a stock K04 turbo a low 13 high 12 is easily achievable with bolt-on's and a tune. Doesn't matter what year Civic you got... Everyone laughs at them now. Sad to see irresponsible Civic owners completely ruin the reputation they should have. Let me know when a stock Civic gets close to beating a Cobalt SS at anything.

JOHNNY COCKMONGLER commented on 18 Feb 2013

Fuck that shit. Cobalts are girly economy cars bro. 3 out of every 4 cobalt drivers are female, and the 1 out of 4 that are male either have a dick hanging out of their mouth while driving around or they put matte black paint and spray painted rims on it to make it look "tight". fuck Saturn and fuck Chrysler too. If you want a budget 4 cyl RWD then get the miata or the silvia. Fuck, I almost bought a miata for 1300 bucks. when you quit playing with those little boy toys you call cars hit me up.

ThEMiX YouTube commented on 20 Feb 2013

You can say what you'd like... You drive a boosted Civic... I bet torque is amazing... ROFL Before you keep running that mouth of your's tell me how a Cobalt SS does on the track? I'll leave some quick stats for you... Stock Cobalt SS on Nürburgring Nordschleife which is the best comparable pinnacle of performance in both straight line and handling of a track ran just under a 8:23. Tell me how that's a "gay" car... Beating out many other far "higher class" cars and it's a easily modded car...

JOHNNY COCKMONGLER commented on 24 Feb 2013

the only 4 door car that will ever beat me is the sti or the evo. anyone who buys a 4 door, front wheel drive turbocharged car is in for a load of trouble and really has their priorities wrong. you either get the 2 door, and it will be sporty, or you get the 4 door non SS, to be a family car. it cant be both. sorry, it just can't be done. now stop being a bitch. I've worked on more cars than you have ever seen in your pathetic miserable life. the fact that you insult me shows your insecurity.

ThEMiX YouTube commented on 18 Feb 2013

When you get done with your ignorant cunt bullshit let us know... your statistics are horrible and not even statistics but rather you trying to swing that twig you call a dick. Miata.... God I hope your dick fell off before making that statement because your vagina stinks bad from here. Silvia not bad not cheap usually. Little boy toys... lulz Ill let you know when I get tired of these "little boy toys," you must know a lot about little boys but obviously are a ignorant dumb cunt with cars.

JOHNNY COCKMONGLER commented on 20 Feb 2013

Just like the mustang, the cobalt has become a gay car, and here is why: there are SOOO many base trim mustangs (V6) that when you actually see a GT mustang it doesn't phase you because you've seen so many mustangs already. The same goes for the cobalt, except its even worse. There are SOOO many LS and LT cobalts out there, AS WELL AS THE 4 DOOR, that when you finally do see a cobalt SS 2 door, it just doesnt matter anymore. Yeah it may be quick, no disputing that. But it is still GAY.

ThEMiX YouTube commented on 24 Feb 2013

Your the most redundant idiot I've ever met... Luckily not in person.. So there arn't like 50 different Civics? and 4 models? and made since what 1973? ROFL... Civic's are a joke at this point and heavily outdated. Your reasoning for something having a sexual orientation are lack-luster and your digging a deeper hole than needed at this point. BTW SS models arn't just 2 doors... have a little knowledge before bullshitting... Your not a real car enthusiast and that's what it comes to.

1hemiluver commented on 06 Jun 2011

How can anyone watch this and not get the chills, from the beautiful sound that only American Muscle can produce ? Is this a small block basis from which you turn this so tight? Back in the mid 60's, we would turn up the 292 and 301 Chevy's near this range to get our cars moving. Then it was weight per cubic inch. Any info will be appreciated. I would enjoy seeing this run, very much. This is a fantastic car, that hooks hard, goes straight and has a stick. A winner in all respects.

randy wilson commented on 19 Sep 2013

Number one. Neither this cobalt, or the 12,000 rpm nova, turn 12,000. Number two, we have to run a certain weight, and certain C.I.D. The stroke is a better place to lose cubes then the bore. Number three, the more RPM's you turn, all things being set up that way, the bigger the engine thinks it is. Number four, our motors peak between 9,100, and 9,600. We take them 4 to 6 hundred past peak. So 10,4000 is the max we personally turn. Hope that helps.

JOHNNY COCKMONGLER commented on 18 Feb 2013

say what you want about the miata, but real racing drivers know that when it comes to handling it doesnt get much more crisp or controlled than the miata. ever hear the expression "it handles like its on rails"? yeah. thats miata territory my boy. and i dont fuck with shitty american bull shit ecoboxes like the cobalt. my civic is boosted and produces big horsepower numbers, and my dick produces big inches. fuck you and your dumb brobalt.

ThEMiX YouTube commented on 22 Dec 2011

@jkonn7 is a late bloomer. The video owner already updated us on that part. Read all the comments before trying to be a cunt and seem cool by acting smarter than others on youtube. You make yourself seem like an underage blowjob how never shuts the fuck up when he should. No one wants your 2 fuckin cent's NO ONE!!! So shut the fuck up and only add to comments rather than ruin a community with your fucktard responses.

randy wilson commented on 14 Nov 2011

Went once to KCIR in Oct. Fridat night went 9.34 at 148, first round of qualifing Sat. morning, broke a lifter on the line. End of the day for us And fri. night, the track was horrible, 1.33 60 when we normally run 1.27 or 1.28. We feel we could have ran 9.24 Sat.at 149 but will have to wait till next year. Will get some new vids later, and we now have three motors, so we have a back-up. All in SS\DM

B00steDevil commented on 15 Sep 2013

Why the hell in gods name will you want to decrease the stroke just to gain 1000rpm lmao. You humans are really disappointing. Only reason to keep up at those rpms is pure gearing timing. The power produced at those speeds is not much past 8000 there will never be enough air or fuel at a time to utilize 12000 lol Just curious what dynamic compression ratios are you guys achieving???

ThEMiX YouTube commented on 18 Feb 2013

Solstice lolz.... ish. I have the SS cobalt and a Redline. Both easy 12-13sec cars. I prefer hitting track over the strip. Prefer the Cobalt but paying less for same performance is genius. Solstice are way "gayer" as you say. I don't think you've driven one have you.. lol its bad. RWD on a budget 4cyl I'd choose is a Mitsubishi Starion/Chrysler Conquest.

camaromitch commented on 07 Jun 2011

@1hemiluver We have a few different engines we run ranging from 290s up to about 320. And you would guess correctly about the gear ratio. We normally just run around Iowa and Missouri, but might do a something farther out once in a while. Just depends on what the schedule is like. Hollar if you are ever in the area, and glad you like the car.

1hemiluver commented on 06 Jun 2011

Without giving too much away, what is the cu. in. of this? I would guess that the gear ratio is in the 5 plus range. We used 5:38 in a 55 C/G injected car, that was turning pretty tight at the 1/4. Do you ever run the car outside your general area? I am in the NW, but would enjoy watching your car very much. Good to hear from you.

randy wilson commented on 29 Jun 2012

I own that track now, and is closed, not from safety issues, but others. I've raced there since 71, and never seen a driver so much as break a fingernail. Go figure. And steve bridger has been 4.92 at 142 mph. You know what they say, if no one is making you go, don't get your panties pulled tight in the crack of your ass.

joe mclaughlin commented on 06 Jan 2014

The comments below ,other than the owner , are textbook dumbass. If any of you clueless idiots understood drag racing , let alone even driven anything close I'd be surprised. These are called conversion cars built to take advantage of class rules. They are very popular. Now go play with your Mustangs.

randy wilson commented on 24 Apr 2013

That motor is a 289 C.I. small block, with unported brodix spec heads, BME pistons, Groden rods, knifedged crank, G-Force clutch assisted 5 speed, 592 HP. Now, we have a dart-buick 286, bryant crank, 55 MM cam, bowtie block, hogans manifold, 2 fours, and clutchless G-Force. Thanks for asking.

1hemiluver commented on 07 Jun 2011

From listening and watching the car, this is what I was guessing. Sure would enjoy seeing this masterpiece, without the hood on? Maybe, you can also have a camera in car view, this will be welcomed. If I come to your area, I will definitely come by. Appreciate your time and info.

JOHNNY COCKMONGLER commented on 24 Feb 2013

Yeah dickhead, the 4 door SS models are even slower and more fucked up. I'm talking about MY generation of civic. Most civics you see are more recent. It's not often you see civcs dated before 1996. Mine is a 5th gen civic. Now go fuck yourself and cry to your bitch mommy.

ThEMiX YouTube commented on 24 Dec 2011

@jkonn7 Your a moron huh? slowbalt, you own a car faster than this? Any car can be modded to be fast. ANY. Shit your retarded Eclipse prob runs 16's+ when it does run. Shits all duct-taped together. Fuckin Ricer. I'd check for a simple Vacuum leak with your misfiring shit.

camaromitch commented on 03 May 2011

@ROWB0AT I didn't know the 4cyl motor or front wheel drive made a Cobalt a Cobalt, because what keeps it from being a cavalier then...oh yeah, the body. We left that mostly stock. So go ahead Sorensen, use your shell to build a Cobalt with a bad ass motor and RWD.

camaromitch commented on 05 Mar 2013

Insecurity? like coming in here and commenting on year old posts? Yeah, best way to get the last word in lol. Looks like this one backfired. Looks like bratboy90 is the resident troll-hunter. Keep up the good work :)

camaromitch commented on 16 Dec 2010

@p0pe1991 More than likely that is correct then. Both videos were from the same weekend, but only 5101cobalt or Randy would know for sure. They have a few different motors that they run in this car.

camaromitch commented on 28 Mar 2011

@alexhc09 Yeah, switching to mechanical wasn't going to save enough weight to even mess with. Not to mention how nice it is hitting a switch instead of a crank when you are in a 5 point harness.

Dsmpsn63 commented on 16 Dec 2010

I have a question for anybody out there, I want to put a clutch in my car(3800 lbs trans am that I still drive on the street with a 468 big block chevy) what would be the best tranny to go with?

camaromitch commented on 06 Jun 2011

@1hemiluver Thanks for the good review. It is just like you thought, a short stroke small block that builds it's power way up high. It is setup for headsup #/ci racing. Ya know, real racing :)

FoxHoundUnit89 commented on 02 Jun 2013

So because I own an LT and only fill the tank once every 2 weeks, you think I'm gay? Oh no, I better start caring what some little backwoods redneck homophobe cares about what car I drive LOL

JOHNNY COCKMONGLER commented on 18 Feb 2013

no matter what it is, it's still a Saturn, the brand GM created to produce cheap cars to sell to Americans on a budget. At least get the Solstice so you dont look like a POS faggot

i think it is still for sale. show us how its done.any track where some participants and want to be participants and wish they were want to be participants try to participate but see they are too mentally challenged to figure how to be competetive, there will be relief when they close the sandbox because you feel inferior with your tonka toys.go figure. i am damn glad it closed. if you cant be competitive under those simple rules, i would advise you take up cat videos or bracket racing.

camaromitch commented on 03 Feb 2010

I think you are trying to though. And by the way...the track is still for sale. Care to give some details on how it was run so horrible? I am pretty sure that all of the problems of the past have been addressed and shown why certain changes were made. If you are just wanting to complain, or maybe hurt because you weren't happy about how it ended then that is fine.

camaromitch commented on 05 Nov 2010

@ericspda the rear quarters are the original but stretched for the tires and the hood is carbon fiber. The rest of the body is original. I have a video of a walk around and you can see that it has the original door panels (notched for the cage) and dash (which has been gutted) AND POWER WINDOWS. I'm sure there's more but that's just off the top of my head.

jahaley3298 commented on 06 Mar 2010

Damn there are some clueless people on here.....don't voice your opinion if you can't make an intellectually sound comment. That being said, bowtieighth said this was 289ci with a single 4 barrel....so I am assuming the car runs either SS/CS or SS/DS right? Who built the engine? Jeff Taylor? Todd Patterson? Rick Watters?

randy wilson commented on 26 Jan 2010

i remember one night it did not blow up, and ruined more lives and dreams than the haiti earthquake at least our competitor had the balls to race, not a paralyzing fear of loosing that kept him from taking a chance. we both won some and lost some and the sun came up the next morning for us all.

citi0rhythm commented on 15 Jan 2010

what the fuck? rear wheel drive cobalt?? i hav seen midship integra n now this?? whats next? front wheel drive ferarri and a electric motor driving the rear wheel making it a hy ...oh shit...hybrid 4wd ferrari!! fuck i need to go back to sleep

camaromitch commented on 03 Jan 2010

It wasn't built for show. It was built to go, which it does quite well. And yeah, we had the expected bugs to work out the first year. We also got the IHRA World Record our first year, so I think we could agree the bugs are worked out.

Dsmpsn63 commented on 27 Sep 2010

@ bowtie, don't know where you guys are located but were having a stick shift national @ edgewater raceway park in cincinnati oct 19, look up umtr for more details, love to have you!

mike smith commented on 20 Aug 2010

@bowtieighth both of those cars play the pretiest music i have ever heard. they give me chicken skin just hearing them on you tube,would love to hear them at pageland dragway s.c.

camaromitch commented on 21 Apr 2011

@ddfh01 Yeah, it's a low to mid 9 car in the 1/4, and the front end does lift, the wheelie bars are just really low on that run. Not much room to raise them actually lol

mvvette97 commented on 31 May 2009

yea I don't know even what the problems were. I heard so much shit that who knows what really happened. Why can't everybody just get a long

ddfh01 commented on 14 Apr 2011

@camaromitch ok thats alright then, i was sitting here thinking "how the hell is that a mid 6 sec run with no lift from the rwd car"

josh meligan commented on 10 Dec 2013

good race you know people like different cars if everyone liked the same thing the world would be pretty boring

johnyups commented on 17 Jan 2010

ahhh the nova was running a powerglide he would of caught you in the quarter once you hit your last gear.

randy wilson commented on 08 Mar 2010

ss/cs and later ss/dm and g/sm. Al Parker, Parker Engines, newton ia. does all machine work and dyno.

Clair Gwinn commented on 02 Jan 2010

That cobalt is ugly as shit. Good God. How many times have they blown it up? lol.

firefighter3427 commented on 26 Jan 2010

props to the nova for keeping up probly weighs twice as much as your cobalt lol

JOHNNY COCKMONGLER commented on 17 Feb 2013

couldnt hear the fuckin cobalt thanks to that loudass hunk of steel next to it

mvvette97 commented on 29 May 2009

I miss that track not being open, Not far away and alot of fun to watch

camaromitch commented on 06 Apr 2009

Yeah, it is a very hard running car. He's always right on our tail.

dusternash commented on 08 May 2009

Im not chicken and i know steve well enough. i went to look at he cobalt last summer and he told me to get the hell out of there. That was it for me. You all just keep smiling because behind that shit eating grin you yourself no the truth! The only prob i have is that everytime the cobalt wanted to change something, the damn rules changed accordingly and thats bs. Don't say it didn't happen either, why the hell do you think you hardly had any cars! Everyone gets sick of rules changing every wk.

dusternash commented on 11 May 2009

i would also like to say that alot of good racers didn't come back because of constant rule changes. Steve Bridger, Randy Owen, Ricky Parrot, The Holley brothers, Steve Rivera, Steve Hughs, Kurt Maddox, These to name a few. No wonder the car count was so low. You know also you assholes put down the VanMeters too which are close friends of mine. They have been at the fucking track since 1966. Show a little respect. There every week regaurdless of all the bullshit and you still put them down!

dusternash commented on 11 May 2009

the whole rules thing is simple. MAKE THEM AND LEAVE THEM ALONE! One that comes to mind to me is in the C classes, 2 yrs ago the rules stated 2x3 tube from firewall back with front suspension remaining in stock form with the acception of a few minor details. Then, once the cobalt was built you change them to super stock legal front end. I cant afford this kind of stuff anyway, but the people who could already had cars built and then the rules change. I can name several more also!

michellethompson138 commented on 09 May 2009

My memory is just fine. The first year the track reopened Monte ran in a different class then I did. And I won the shootout in the black vega. The next year I won the shootout in the Thunderstruck car over Jerry Van Meter. The next year I broke the rearend in class and did not even run the shootout and Monte won that year. The next year I got 2nd place to Johnnie Munn.The next shootout I won in Dean Capps Vega over Jeremy Van Meter. And last year I won in the Cobalt

camaromitch commented on 08 May 2009

Why can't you state any facts? Did you ever attempt to protest? Did anybody? I didn't think so. By the way. The track is for sale if you want to give the track a new owner, and the Cobalt will still win. If you are going to keep bringing up the cheating with nothing to back it up then i am going to start deleting these posts. Steve has won 4 of the last 6 big shootouts and has never been caught cheating. You really believe he got away with something that long?

dusternash commented on 11 May 2009

This is it for me, I think I'm done. It too bad the track is closed because i really enjoyed it even though my car was slow, STEVE! I do have a new car now that I'm slowy working on as I can afford it. Sad as it is, guess i will have to bracket race. We all know that its closed because you are sick of the so called bitching from everybody. Had you known how to run a track, it would still be open and have a good car count. That being said, I'm done talking.

michellethompson138 commented on 08 May 2009

If any one would have put the money up to protest I would have gladly proved all your accusations false! And your right because Randy owns the track and Iwas on the tech comittee we felt we had to be more legal than anybody there. And we were! The only reason for having protest fees is so if you feel you are being cheated you can find out. Its not personal I would have been flattered.Its to bad all these came to this but you guys started it!

michellethompson138 commented on 10 May 2009

Randy was the low Quaifier the first year and I was the low qualifer every year after that except for the year that Steve Bridger wrecked his car he was the low qualifier but did not run the shootout and this year Monte was the low qualifier. Mostly with a pair of Iron heads and a clutch assisted trans. We had the quickest et & mph every year in the 10&11 lb class

michellethompson138 commented on 10 May 2009

what rules were changed? when we opened it up to any cylinder head nobody came. So we thought that if we limited the money that you would have to spend on cylinder heads [spec heads] that it would be more affordable and closer racing than before and I think if everybody that has race cars would have tried it it would have worked. But I don't know what the fix is.

dusternash commented on 07 May 2009

actually i know its not legal. to be a true ss/cs car the rules state the front suspension must retain stock lower a arms as they came from the factory. Really not sure how the cobalt passes tech with aftermarket a arms, oh well, whats new! Also the true ss/cs record, which is nhra, not ihra, is held by david bogner, 92 dodge daytona. 5.94 @ 115.27 mph.

dusternash commented on 08 May 2009

it a plymouth stupid! my stuff isnt fast and i dont claim it is. alteast it was mine and not some millionaire hand me down. As far as monte, atleast he's a straight shooter and not a bullshitter. you drove clutchless all year but yet got the weight break for clutch assist. Knowing you cheated all year feels pretty good dont it!

dusternash commented on 08 May 2009

kind of hard to protest the car that belongs to the track owner there mitch! Losing? Its better to be legal and lose then to cheat and win. No one is bitching either, just stating facts! Its awful funny that you and Monte only actually raced twice all year. every time it came up, the cobalt was mysteriously broke. Imagine that!

dusternash commented on 09 May 2009

easy answer, you hit him. By the way, like I'v said 100 times, we all know the truth steve. you wouldn't be getting so pissed if it wasn't true. All you guys just think we are idiots and dont pick up on things. This can go on forever and i really dont give a shit cause i know im right!

dusternash commented on 09 May 2009

As far as your trans, i know its a face plate and they wont pop out of gear like a clutchless. I also know, though not recommended, they can be shifted clutchless, and thats what you were doing. That bein said, if you get the 150 lb clutch assist wt break, you better be clutching!

camaromitch commented on 08 May 2009

Oh quit making excuses. IHRA sure didn't have any problems with his tranny. It is easy to bitch when you are too ignorant to be proven wrong Really? I am afraid it was more than that. Monte was the first car for the Cobalt to line up against. You wanna guess who won? Imagine that!

dusternash commented on 09 May 2009

you turned in to the side of him stupid. Of course you know it all steve. The only people that agree with you is your little circle of, what, 3 friends, LOL. I guess if I had somone just handing me money to spend and a car to drive i could be as cocky as you. YOU'RE MY HERO!

dusternash commented on 11 May 2009

Alright Steve, I guess i just thought i was done! There is no way them heads come right off the cobalt. They had rust in ports, I was there. You know as well as i do that bullshit just all of it. You definately cant pull any wool over Monte's eyes!

camaromitch commented on 08 May 2009

Straight from the Monte Baker school of Bitching When You Lose: When you get a response that ends your argument, start a new one. Are you guys ever going to say why you never protested this cheating you say went on all year?

dusternash commented on 08 May 2009

well after reading all of your heart felt comments, i must admit that its only cheating if you get caught. however when you own the track and run the tech comittee its amazing how anything can be considered legal.

dusternash commented on 09 May 2009

I'm not just talking about you winning steve. I'm talking about your arrogant attitude. Your little group looks down on us poor bastards! I'v tried to talk to you in the past but you're too damn good for me.

dusternash commented on 11 May 2009

You didnt look at anyone else's because you knew you already had better shit and hoped if you didnt look at others they wouldn't look at yours. This is aint rocket science, but you just think were all blind!

dusternash commented on 09 May 2009

I never said i won a popularity contest. I come from a a poor family and i dont have much now. I dont think i want in your click anyway, you get a little money and a high dollar car and think your king kong.

dusternash commented on 09 May 2009

I know I'm just beating a dead horse here anyway, but we all know the truth about everything we have discussed. You guys just go on with your cheating ways and sooner or later it will come back to haunt ya.

dusternash commented on 11 May 2009

it was easy to tell they had been sitting a while! Thats all i was saying but im just wasting my time cause you have another fucking lie for everything i say instead of just admitting the truth!

dusternash commented on 11 May 2009

Well how come your car got to stay in the pits? Everyone else had to be on the track! Plus, no one outside your little bullshit group could be around the car. Gee, now sounds fair dont it!

dusternash commented on 09 May 2009

Im on a roll so why stop now. this is for steve. in response to me hitting the guard rail, you aint much better. Have you hit any lil stinker camaro's on the shut down lately?

michellethompson138 commented on 09 May 2009

I don't remember you winning a popularity contest.I don't remember any body handing me any money but they must have because you know everything.

michellethompson138 commented on 09 May 2009

If he wash't drunk he wouldn't have hit me everybody knows that. I'm not pissed at all I think all this is funny.Cause you guys are idiots!

dusternash commented on 07 May 2009

by the way the car would be protested if it was ran in nhra. good reason to run ihra i guess since its too slow. Damn 5.94 is fast!!!

dusternash commented on 08 May 2009

i believe i have said this before . 200 lbs heavier, smaller cubic inches, and racing a cheater! Gee, i wonder why the cobalt won.

Pretty quick for a 2.2 Cobalt sedan. Thats an LS right? One of my friends used to have an LT coupe manual. It was pretty quick too. I have 2 vids of it. In one of them he does like 120 mph.

Cobalt SS commented on 01 Feb 2012

@belizetj Yeah, it's an LS. I'm putting all the SS stuff on it though and eventually I'm turboing it; next summer most likely.

Man, that's kinda interesting that they would not build a stronger block, or take into account their block engineering to be able to hold more. I know it's apples to oranges, but I was just comparing it to my car (Scion tC which is N/A from the factory of course), which have been holding well over that without sleeves. There's even a race team that's holding 1000+bhp on stock sleeves. Average guy put down 662whp/600wtq on a non-sleeved block.

unfortunately it wasn't sleeved, which is why it blew up @550whp @27psi. But it had pauter billet rods, diamond pistons, balanced rotating assembly, knife edged the block, CNC ported race head, Ti retainers, 78lb valve springs, and custom cams, nuetral balance shafts, and a bunch of other little things to make it survive 9500 rpm

had a stuck injector a few weeks back, compression was actually slowly coming back it was down to 80 psi in that cylinder was at 145 psi when this vid was taken. As for the limiters, I'm still trying to figure that one out

rhythmnsmoke commented on 08 Nov 2009

I would have figured the block (being they are already boosted from the factory) would have held more than 550whp without sleeves. I reckon that's not to bad though.

paul commented on 15 Oct 2009

it actually didn't fall off until after 8600 rpm or so. but was pretty flat from 7800-8500 @438whp on a bit over 18psi on this run

paul commented on 09 Nov 2009

there was a defect in the cylinder wall, blew out on only 27psi later that week. est 540whp on that setup

erichill13 commented on 20 Jul 2009

What happened to the other cylinder if you just rebuilt your motor? Why didn't the rev limiter(s) work?

paul commented on 27 Jul 2009

stuck injector messed it up for the dyno, 27 psi and a cylinder wall blowing out killed it last night

rhythmnsmoke commented on 08 Nov 2009

Oh wait, is this a regular Cobalt that's been turboed, and not an SS with a turbo upgrade?

paul commented on 09 Jan 2010

car is now back to stock, using it as a daily driver since I scooped up an 93 rx-7

thugathugacation commented on 22 Sep 2009

this car was supposed to make like 600 lol. it's a beast....done right.

paul commented on 23 Sep 2009

it was up over 550whp when it cracked a cylinder wall.... too bad

BigBoyd06 commented on 14 Aug 2009

wish i had money to buy your turbo kit, 438whp thats titties

Danny Lopez commented on 26 Jul 2009

paul you're forged motor pooped out cause of the injector?

Snakes709 commented on 20 Jul 2009

very impressive...now lets see some 1/4 mile times

i got one of the 08 turbo cobalts but cant find a BOV anywhere. Where'd you find the one you put on this car? Most places just tell me that they haven't done testing for this car yet. And I've been messing around with starts in the launch control vs. regular but are you saying that having the launch control one enables the boost pressure feature?

Egorsmigo commented on 10 Oct 2008

i just bought an 08 ss on sept. 19 and it does have one it doesnt sound when using the no lift shift because your never closing your throttle body. if you are in gear but not to high rpm's push the gas til the whistle of the turbo gets pretty loud then let of the gas and you should hear it.

marcmazz commented on 19 Mar 2008

if i were to buy an 08 cobalt ss turbo..and put a blow off valve on it would the blow off valve only work when i left off the clutch or will it still sound when you use the no lift shift and hammer the gas all the way? thanks

Egorsmigo commented on 10 Oct 2008

or if you want to hear it loud floor it and shift regularly instead of the no lift shift. when i done that to hear it mine sounded like a sharp squeak when i first got it but now it sounds like the normal release.

dponce80 commented on 19 Mar 2008

It has a blow off valve. You just don't hear it on this run, but it's definitely there, and you hear it every time you shift, as long as the RPM is high enough.

marcmazz commented on 19 Mar 2008

would a blow off vavle work on this car if u hammer the gas and use the no lift shift or will it not make a sound at all?

southwest82 commented on 13 Jan 2009

no, a compressor bypass valve(CBV) recirculates the boost. A blow off valve vents the boost outside the pipe.

TNTAutosport commented on 24 Mar 2008

a blow off valve works when you close the throttle body plate (aka let off the gas)

Antonio Stovall commented on 31 May 2008

the BOV recuriclates into the intake path. its verry quiet.
