Ah okay. Ya the Optra has less horse power than the Suzuki "version". I think this is because the Optra gets more gas miliage than the Suzuki "version" does.

bzzz. Wrong.

Actually they are the same, just rated differently. We think its because in Canada the optra and the cobalt are both from chevy...they didnt want the optra to hurt the cobalts sales...though it did. Chris in Canada swapped his optra ECU for a forenzas and gained nothing so we're pretty sure they're the same output..that and comparing dynos.

Now, you want to add the add-ons?
127 Stock
20 UD Pully (dynamic. Dynoed)
6 CAI (yes, its dynoed for all the trolls)
5 2" catback w/ dynaflow (estimated)
-----
158 Est power


This does not incluse the improvment in acceleration added from the apex springs and lighter rims/tires, or the cornering ability of the stronger swaybars

Wouldn't the sway bars increase the whp some as they are stiffer than the OEM ones, so it won't absorb as much power that is going to the wheels?

not sure. Still need to dyno this setup

Not on a dyno. In a 1/4 race you might notice the difference. With stiffer springs and stuff its just how fast the power goes to the ground for the most part...with a stiffer suspension you might notice 1whp on a 200whp car as far as the dyno goes.
