Default *Rematch* Cobalt SS/TC Vs Cammed LS1 & Stalled Mild Bolt-On LS1

Did some roll races this time. The Camaro SS got a little jump on me on the first race even though I honked it off. Dur.

Just didn't matter, he was the faster car. And as for that "jump," I'd quit trying to make excuses considering that it was maybe a tenth of a second.

So what does your car trap? From what I've seen, basic bolt-on SS/TC's are mid 13 second cars in the 105-109 range. That Camaro should be trapping around 115-120 and in the 11's, or are you guys in terrible altitude?

??? Is that bad? Rev-limit is 6500 with the GMS1. You have to do it within 500rpm of rev-limit or I think it doesn't NLS. If I NLS at like 5800 or so it just ends up being a flat-foot shift and I don't get the "pop" out of the exhaust.

I've just learned to shift right when my tach needle hit the red @ 6250.

6000ft ASL. That'll do it.

yeah.....you are not leaving much time to miss it or have it lose boost.

power drops off bad past 5800 so i nail it at about 6100. but if yer not droppin boost, u are doin it right so im gona shut up

1-2 is a bitch sometimes cuz if u wheel hop it doensnt work. pretty nice of u to do a 20 roll. i hate sittin at 4k, go, shift....

I'm extremely suprised with how well your cobalt runs, this is the first time I've heard of the hole F/I have a better advantage in higher altitudes thing...I've raced my fair share of turbo'd 4 bangers and the only ones to ever run decently are the subby's with some work done to em. Your from Cheyenne eh? I live in Gillette, might have to meet up for some runs sometime.
