If your count on TD was any indication, I would label it highly unlikely.It could happen.
what was his responce was he pissed that he lost or still trying to rap his head around the fact that he got owned by a mini van
Well I don't post at TD anymore so its very likely someone could reach my posts. I don't think I've posted there for over a year,

He looked sad. That is the only way to describe it. He just said, "That's a fast van" in a very sad voice. lolwhat was his responce was he pissed that he lost or still trying to rap his head around the fact that he got owned by a mini van
I'm sure I looked like a complete tool afterwards. We were going to run again but there was coolant everywhere from lifting the head, so I decided it best to play it safe, go home and make sure I didn't break anything. 25psi + alky/pump gas + stock long block = Bad things.
That was great!!!
Man, it's real funny how everyone there is making such tall excuses. The new common one is "It wasn't a fair race! Put $25k into a Cobalt then see what happens."
Well does it not make more sense to go as fast as possible with as little as possible?
Some guy over there claimed to own a 583 WHP Vette. I sincerely invited him out to Norwalk, OH. to line up against the van at Summit Raceway Park. With no videos to prove he even owns a Vette, I seriously think his Excuses Gauge will be pegged.
Looks like we're going to need more work to keep up with this other Cobalt that raped my VW... 30+psi here we come!
WE will need MORE BOOST than we have now that is for sure.
That is next on the list, computer, tuning, more boost.

tuning has held this van back for too long.

You are correct, I have been lack luster on that account.
My only excuse is that I keep buying more T-M and keep putting $ into them.
That is why I am selling the LWB Turbo Mini Van.
I need to concentrate more on HOLATTA.
Chuck
ahh the plight of too many cars. i have that problem and thats why im driving a atx neon right now cause i cant seem to focus on one project.
Brian
How much DOES that van weigh?
Right now HOLATTA weighs in at 3,060 lbs without driver.
I am still planning on installing lexan in the back 5 windows, fiberglass buckets in the front, and a fuel cell mounted under the floor this winter.

Fat lady!
Not to quote myself but!....... this other said Cobalt just broke a ring land and has began building his engine with forged pistons, ARP everything, big ported head, and a bit of nitrous. He's going for 450WHP. Personally I think his TVS blower will hold him back, but there's no way we're losing to a Cobalt in the van.
Tvs's are good for 400+ horse. guy around here made 420 on a conservative tune with alky injection and dual pass heat exchanger. Good thing he made his own cals though...
Any info on his setup? I'm getting pretty interested in these ecotecs. My buddy was actually planning on going with a turbo instead, but one of the coolest parts about his car is the power band and the fact he's making huge power on a blown 4 cylinder... you just don't see that very much.
Most those guys are using HP Tuner's for tuning. Real awesome calibrating device!
