Quad4 Grand Am versus Supercharged Cavalier Z24 (1-8-09 #2)

[grawfor]

that was a close race quad 4s ftw

Awesome run on both! Im out in airdrie and I saw that cavy early one morning on my way to the south end of Calgary a month or so back. Just wondering what your brother was running under that cavy?

I recently supercharged my cavalier (eco swapped 2000), and wondering what else was done.

Hopefully this year I can get it out to race city myself!

neither of these posted runs were near our day's best, iirc his best from that day was a 15.6;

on this day at the track he only has the supercharger - but now has done a couple more things... ;)

ecotec swap in a '00 huh? - that's alot of work for an engine that technically falls a couple hp short from the 2.4L Twin Cam ;)

(but I digress that I know it's a rather common swap)

Yeah I started with just the 2200 in the car and found an eco donor car outside of edmonton for 400 bucks... basically a drop in.

Either way I hope to run into you guys one day as both cars are definately sweet. I know that Grand Am is a bit of a sleeper, didnt expect it to be as quick as it is!

sorry, I thought you started out with the 2.4L (I only say this because I have read of negative opinions of

the 2.4L on jbodydotorg).

The GA is a sleeper... when it's not running.

I barely drove it this past year...

I suspect that the cavalier is currently faster than the GA though... so I'll have to move the bar up on my brother ;^)
