SS/SC \> SS/TC 🙂 i think that the LSJ is a stronger engine than the LNF so you’re better off ditching the supercharger on the LSJ. but i do want the brembos off of the ss/tc ---

> [@articzap](#): > > The gearing is a bit to tall to go faster. yeah ive been wondering between this and the solistice/sky turbos, i know that im sorta neon oriented but even the srt-4 and the pt cruiser with the identical engine had 15% LESS power and theyre both a half second ahead of 4 banger gm pack, especially suprised with the sky considering its RWD i believe but i could be wrong ---

i thought the difference between lnf and lsj were the heads. same blocks. and there is tuning for the LNF. There are two companies offering tunes as well as aftermarket for the sky/solstices. whats the curb weight of an srt-4? cobalt is around 2800 ---

My cobalt with full interior and my 240 lb ass in it weighed in at 3071 lbs at englishtown. We’ll see what the ss/tc does with a good driver in it soon enough. ---
