[QUOTE="T.Man, post: 10958073, member: 113604"] Just as I thought it would go down :beer: I'm sure he dramatically increased timing as well. Using Ethanol with turbo (F/I in general as well) cars, especially DI cars, you get additional charge cooling, increased efficiency across the board (turbo acts like it's a little bit bigger). The meth is overkill in my opinion but it is what it is. I'd venture to say the Cobalt is running 1:1 E85, like I am. A full bolt-on SS/TC car is not capable of running full on E85 without an extremely competent tuner or other modifications due to the HPFP not being able to keep up. If he is running full E85, then the meth makes sense as it is acting as additional fueling. I doubt he's making 400whp as well but there's no doubt he could be in the 350-360whp range, easily. Tune only cars are making 290-300whp and 380+ ft/lbs of torque. Tune only while running varying levels of ethanol blends range from 310-330whp. There is no GT28 upgrade by the way. There is a bolt on upgrade that has made as low as 370whp and as high as 450whp on 1:1 ethanol. FWIW, my car with just tuning and 1:1 ethanol, put down 311/360 SAE (322/378 STD). And the tune was far from aggressive. [/QUOTE]
