Met a kid w/ a 303hp Cobalt SS

[TMRRedline]

Last night I was out w/ friends and was talking a kid I skied agianst last year in high school. Started to talk about cars and he mentioned his Cobalt SS. I guess he knows some GM excutive and was able to get the first Cobalt SS in Michigan. GM immediatly took the car for 2 weeks and fitted it w/ a bunch of performance parts. He is running a 2.6 custom pulley w/ piggyback, custom CAI intake, custom magnaflow exhaust, solid billet motor mounts, cobra injectors, larger intercooler, and tons of other stuff I cant remember. All gave it a total of 303 Hp to the wheels. GM paid for everything, total of $8,000.

I forgot. Its running 21 lb's of boost!!! On an otherwise stock supercharger. Didnt believe it till I saw the boost gauge.

Yikes, so you took a ride in the monster??

Wasent able to take a ride last night, but sat in it and revved it up. Nice sounding exhaust and very loud SC whine. Maybe I can find him at school and take a ride.

Cobra injectors? I assue you mean the same size that a Cobra would use?

I'd like to see how he gets 21 psi out of the stock blower, not raising the flag, but you know....

How did you see the boost hit 21 if you didn't ride in it?

Also, what does 'larger intercooler' mean? Larger heatexchanger?

my boost gauge barely goes up when i just rev it

[yrethguad]

Doesn't it go to full boost if you rev it? Actually, yeah, I know for a fact it does. heheh. I just remembered I took video of it in GG's car. Poor poor boost gauge needle......

Mine never does.... it goes up a litte, but then drops right down. Even if you rev it to redline it only hits about 5-7psi before dropping right down.
