Shit we have a boosted old school civic running around cloud, and he is very low 12's, & dosent have much $$$ in it. Also the cobalt runs low 14's IIRC.

Corvette motor=standard chevy v-8(especially the sweet ~160hp small blocks of the 70's 'vettes)rather simple motors,and nowhere near as tight of tolerances as the 7M,1JZ,or 2jz.Not really much to brag about kid.beachsupra;1316495 said:the FIRST motor i have ever stripped down to the block and put back together was a corvette.......

the cobalt i just hate em soooo much.if i had to choose one car i hate the most it would be the cobalt.the 50 shot will let me beat the crx for sure. the cobalt......will end up beating me by 5 cars instead of the regular 7 or 8.
pogoism9;1317570 said:Last I checked, Lexus never used a 7M....so I wouldn't necessarily trust a Lexus tech. Of the 7 or so people you referenced, how many know anything about a 7M? 7Ms are their own breed of monster, and i would *never* take one to your average joe mechanic.

beachsupra;1315357 said:lmao wtf man.that was what i was gona ask i just bought a 10lb bottle its a 50 shot wet kit for 180 cash,brand is nitrous express the kit was basicly new.think i got a good deal?im installing it so i can finally take down this annoying boosted crx and i have a grudge with this cobalt ss.
i dont mind bieng beaten at all as long as the car is nice.i just hate getting beaten by ugly cars.lol.
if he is using a wet kit it adds fuel in proportion to the nitrous so it doesn't give a lean condition, and i think a 50 shot should be fine on a decent motor, i've seen like 100k mile motors run 50-75 wet shots no problem. Not saying its a good thing to do but its not like ZOMG ITS GONNA LEAN OUT AND BLOW!!! I mean 50 shot/6 cylinders, thats roughly an 8hp shot per cylinder, matched with fuel so it shouldn't be that severe, not really worse than a less than perfect condition block going through na-tMoy;1316178 said:you'll need more than just nitrous if you want beat the guys, and if you want the car to run properly. you'll need some sort of fuel management at the bare minimum to make sure you don't lean out and detonate (and possibly/most likely blow your engine).
