Cobalt SS Buld-Up on SPEED
Anyone watch Street Tuner Challenge on SPEED ? I think the show sucks, but it caught my eye today when they started a Cobalt SS LSJ buildup. (I dunno, maybe it was a re-run??)
Team Cobalt out of San Diego California (I think the show is based in LA) pulled the brand new engine and went to town. (in a HACK sort of way- seen them prying the bed-plate off with a 36” prybar wedged into the block rail!
)
Showed pretty good visible details on the supercharger, intake, charge air cooler and engine internals though. They say they’re gonna build it up mechanically to handle “Big Tuner Horsepower” (whatever that means – we shall see I guess, the show is “To Be Continued” LOL)
It appears to be a pretty serious effort though as they also totally gutted the SS interior to weld-in in a full NHRA legal cage. Doubt I’ll see the next episode, but if someone does, fill us in on what they use to manage the fuel/boost control!!
Looks like they have some help from GM Performance, so maybe they will show us something of use.
