Default H/C/I LS1 Camaro Vs Cobalt SS (Warning: Bakery Racing)


This race has been almost a year in the making, we were talking about running when he was still cam only, but it's WAAAYYYY closer now that he's done a few more mods.

Firsties!!!!!

Damn fine race. Must note that that 426whp is pretty healthy considering the altitude. The balt is running strong that is for sure.

I would like to point out the similarity to this race with a 424RWHP 383 H/C LT1:


He's on 3.42s though, so no shifting to 5th gear like the LS1 car.

I thought Turbo cars weren't really affected much by altitude? Good race though.

I'm trying to remember the theory, but something like additional whp loses for na cars being 10% while FI cars only lose 3-4%. They all are affected, but NA cars are affected far more.

They are affected, just not as bad. When you're at 6000ft Turbo>S/C>N/A when it comes to how much power you don't lose. If I do the DA correction for my track time to sea level, it ends up being about 12.5 @ 115 or so. But on an N/A car the DA correction is over a second faster and picks up 10-13 mph.

Safe to assume you started in 3rd for 60 roll?

Yep. lol. 2nd runs out at about 68mph with my rev limit, so 3rd is perfect.
