Default Y U NO?! E85 Cobalt Vs Procharged WS6 and 20G WRX

Have to stop in from time to time and visit my old F-body brothers on here and share a few vids.

Cobalt SS/TC Vs 436rwhp WS6 - I think his dyno numbers might be a bit inflated because I raced a 424rwhp 383 stroker LT1 once and it was a closer race.

Guy in a 20G 2006 WRX on E85 called me out. Got his car finished and tuned and he was feeling confident he could beat a Cobalt that just has a few bolt-ons and a tune.

Good runs. 424 n/a rwhp is gonna be stronger then 436 blown rwhp.

God runs, your Balt moves out pretty good! That TA needs to turn up the boost though.

Man, those turbo Cobalts can definitely run with a little work to them! Great run!
As a side note, have to agree with GTOSpd..Did the mods on the TA say Procharger @ 4psi? Should be able to run at least at 8 to 10psi. I am wondering if his claimed power rating was at a higher psi instead of the 4psi stated in the video?
Regardless, your Balt still pulled a SC T/A! Nice job.

Nice runs! I raced a couple T/C cobalts this weekend on my way home from the track (mods unknown, both were lowered). I beat them but they run pretty dang good, much better than the old S/C versions.

13.1 @ 110.5 on a 2.1 60'. 8600ft DA too because that's at a track already at 5800ft above sea level.

As for the 4psi on the TA -- result of altitude as well. He is on the original 6psi pulley that came with the kit, but since we are at 6000ft above sea level, it just doesn't make that because unlike a turbo, the pulley size regulates and dictates how fast the S/C spins -- which due to our stupidly thin air only generates about 4-5psi max. He bought a 10-12 psi pulley and we are gonna race again once he gets that done.

What do bolt-on E85 cobalts trap at sea level?

114mph to 117mph usually. Low 12s is about the limit of the stock turbo though a few have pushed the limits with traction mods to crack into the high 11s.
