I rode it it the other day and it had pretty good traction, i guess saturns owned by people who owe people 20 bucks have trouble breaking tires loose? : )
or i have good throttle control 
You can’t get traction cause you have an auto trans and u smash the pedal… also the 3.8sc with mods has little traction because of its tq. Its been proven with proper cooling the smaller pulley shows hp and mainly tq gains over larger pulleys with increased timing. GTP and redlines are similar only on the fact that they are gm’s and boosted by eaton blowers…
oh and fyi a gm stage II kit nets you 15psi. Stock we run 12.5. So anything past 15psi just means fun.
smash the pedal? haha mine will burn 2nd rolling without a shift
either way you’re right, i know nothing of cobalts and was merely speculation based off my own roots blown experience. no harm no foul
ya i know isn’t tq a wonderful thing. those 3.8s just put out gobs of it once modded. Ya I mean we are running to basically the peak airflow of the compressor map. Some ppl even drop to 2.5" pulleys (off the compressor map) to really shift their power band mainly. And with enough cooling mods can get some very impressive numbers out of it. However I feel the same numbers can be made with out going off the compressor map. and ya I had a 2001 SSEi once. It was alot of fun, heavy, but fun.
was your SSEi Modded? when modded they are even more fun…noone expects a Bonneville
as for the weight they are not that heavy, about the same as a GTP street trim i get mine to just 35xx race weight…hell the front seats alone are 80 lbs a piece
haha it had a weak short ram intake LOL. sounded good but i think it hurt performance.
next up i need to do some tuning for the timing and partial throttle fuel trims. things are shaping up nicely though.
what are you using for your Tuning program? I know HPTuners pretty well if you need any help
ya i got hptuners, its so much fun to learn (sarcasm).
This car is slow.
lol.
about as slow as yours off the giggles. 
I had a stick to pickup ur pulls for the last week, I just keep forgetting to grab em.
shoot me a text tomarrow afternoon.
I have been fighting with HP tuners the last few days…wow
It makes Free crome look like (I dont know something really Easy)
haha if you need some insight with it i might be able to help. it can be a bit confusing to say the least.
Learn how to use the VCM scanner and the rest falls into place. 
well final numbers with all bolt ons and toon’d was 276whp and 248wtq
Congrats man. Car sounded horrible on the dyno but nice numbers 
well look at you changing ur sn and everything lolz. sorry i didn’t feel like putting on the v8 soundtrack today. I accidently left the saturn 4banger sound on…oops.
well idk maybe i’m partial but i dont think it sounds too bad.
