#71
Yes it is gasoline. I think im going 4.30s. I drive it a good bit now but when the turbo goes on I won't be driving it the 260 miles to work every 2 weeks like i do now. Guess ill have to knock the dust of the cobalt again! lol My goal is to run mid 11's on the ching chang 70mm turbo @ say 16 psi (or what ever psi it maxes out at) on gasoline and meth.

Well hopefully the truck will be going under the knife soon. So I can enjoy the truck more, I've decided to install cam, truetrac, 4.30 gears, injectors, & convert to return fuel system (I have everything except gears). Mean while i will be saving for stall, 4l80e, and misc parts to install the turbo. I'm just ready to actually start putting parts on it!! I have soooo many boxes of parts laying around.

Well I'm excited to report more progress. Had a reply on my WTB add. Getting built 4l80e, FTI 3600 stall, alky injection kit, 40k with AN and hose. All new never installed! I will be picking them up when i get in from work next week. Thanks iDEALS1! It's almost complete now.

With my truck at 14lbs of boost (4860lb sbrc), stock 342 gears, Eaton limited slip, 29.5" 265 street tire, i can break traction at 40 mph on dry hot pavement in second gear (with my 4l80). I need some serious drag radials now, i can imagine how crazy it would be with 410 or 430 gears. I was on an air strip breaking traction at 70mph. lol I'm considering a lower gear set but not before i have traction.

I have a brand new genuine 4.56 ring an pinion I no longer need I'll let go of for $150 o was told by trtturbo when I had my 4.8 with 32" ish tires that 4.10s would be 1.1 ratio and 4.56s would be a good gear ratio to get the 4.8 moving quick

I'll have to pass. I'll be running an 26"-28" tire when playing and 30" tire for just driving. I'm already going to be running more rpms on hwy than I like with the 4.30s.
