Either way awesome job, that car is making some strong reliable power. I would focus on a wheel and tire setup and those 60ft's before I would worry about any more power. Car looks mean also. =)


P.S. put the mesh back over the IC, it stands out too much. But thats just my opinion =P
26lbs in the front tires. No luck with LC at the track, NLS 3rd to 4th, which I could *possibly* ride out 3rd. Firming the suspension is as easy as turning some knobs, will probably do such next time. I like my IC poking! People still can't believe it's turbo.

Wheel/tire shopping now.

My HHR is 400lbs heavier. Not to mention I ran @ full street trim with a 1/2 tank of gas.

The pic of me is at race weight, LOL!

yeah but 400lbs is roughly 4/10ths~.

So if they run 12.3-12.6 with those mods. We should easily run 13.0-13.2

Our 4.05 final versus the Cobalt SS/TC's 3.82 final drive ratio I'm sure comes into play as well.

The weight and that shall be the only difference's.

HHR(SS) 1/4 Mile

A buddy of mine was at Englishtown Race Way (ADRL race) this last weekend and saw an SS run 12.50's. Going down the track he said it "looked" pretty much stock. That's pretty fast.

I agree Dave, How is yours running, how about another pic of my favorite hood ? 12.5 is smoking for a little wagon.
