+1 on the stall, try running the cobalt again with a decent stall and watch how drastic of a difference it will make, you might see .5 second better ET.

Yeah after the stall you will need a set of drag radials! Cause traction will be an issue on the launch

Word too the wise, i did gears and bounced off the rev-limiter alittle(3.90s) but clipped a 12.74, then did a stall(ss4000) and was only able too hit a 12.51 because i was beating the rev-limiter soo bad. Lost alot of mph. Cut 1.63 60fts though, so get a tune for sure man. All passes were with MT ET streets. Its all in the tune, get a tune for sure.

Good runs and quick balt! Horrible choice in music though.

That's your opinion buddy. I like the music myself. Not everyone that drives a WS6 or an SS has to listen to mullet/head banger music. No wonder we get the stereotypical images thrown at us.

nice runs dude, and get more of that cobalt too. if u were an m6 it would be even worse for him.

Good runs! That is an awesome trap for a bolt-on, stock turbo Cobalt. Those things are really impressive.
