The most impressive thing about that video is the fact that there is NO traffic! That looked like an awesome road to race on.

Nice video.

Nice runs. Too bad those Cobalt's aren't turbocharged from the factory instead of the eaton.

hey i love being blown

Haha, I'm sure you do. However if those cars were factory turbo's they'd simply be faster. Make no mistake, I like them. On a 4cyl, turbo>eaton hands down.

No, No, No.

Pacotaco, why?

If the balt was boosted turbo, it'd be just another boosted 4cyl....

The fact that it's Eaton really draws me to them, especially since it's an Eaton, and I can identify with that... hehe

I'm glad chevy chose to use a PD blower. And it may not have been better...
Look at the SRT poor, running almost 15 psi stock, and still slow after they get pumped to 21 lbs.

Long live roots/ts blowers!

Plus, I'd love to drive a 4cyl that felt like a 6cyl because of the S/C. I bet the cobalt feels like it pulls harder than an SRT-4 that's faster... just because of the roots.

Whoa hatrick your sig freaks me out. Rarely see people post a 1k foot time, I did a triple take. I coulda swore you had a balt that was doing 11's in the 1/4, I was like ehhhhh.

Hey that guy with the kenne bell, in the video it said untuned.... is he running a mail order tune or what? I hope to shit he didn't just throw a KB on his car and go romp on it, or else he's about to have a 650 lb paperweight under his hood soon.

LOL, I thought that was his 1/4 time as well and almost shit myself. Nice Cobalt dude, there is a guy around here that is making right at 270 front wheel hp in his. Very quick car, and feels like a monster at the hit because if the roots SC torque.

wow im really surprised at this thread. i thought for sure i was gonna get flamed for this. yea i actually really like the fact its blown and not turbo because of the torque downlow and lack of lag. the KB car has a mail tune on it im pretty sure. i know he has this boost a pump thing haha

yea some of the "less intelligent people" can not understand why i have a 1000 foot time at all. our longest track in ar is 1000 feet, i should be hitting up memphis when it cools down though

That GT is running the Tune that KB sends with their blower. He has plans to go to DynoSpeed in the near future, just gotta find the time for it. He runs 10.4 in 1000ft. I dont really know what kind of time that equals out to but its impressive.....He ran that 10.4 untuned, and with crappy tires.

stock gears too. He has 3.73s waiting to go in. Hopefully he gets it tuned before he fouls the plugs, or something worse.
