Default "Turbo weather" makes a difference...C6 vs SS/TC *rematch vid*

Got a couple cars together for a rematch of a recent run just to see the gains. C6 added an intake and retune, the Cobalt changed nothing but the weather seemed to make it run pretty hard.




Round 1 was in this video.

Crazy to see a cobalt hanging with a LS3 Vette. So will that little engine run like that forever or will something give soon pushing that much power through it?

It should last plenty long the way it is. He has plans for a bigger EFR turbo here soon, then he said it'll be a race between the motor and the tranny to blow up. About 450whp is apparently all it takes to make it blow, said he's shooting for 430.

Maybe it was worse air which slowed down the Vette instead of making the balt faster??

That damn 240 in the other vid moved out!

Was about a 10* temp drop plus he said this time was he brake boosting more.

240 is a fun car to drive for sure.

This. Weather has more affect on a n/a car. They don't call boost actuators "altitude compensators" for nothing.

Good runs!

I was going to mention that it looked like he learned how to brake boost better.

Good runs though!
