got my upgrade last week from Crate Engine Depot $495 to my door and got a T-shirt to boot (although it needs modification)
got it installed today for $65 and haven't stopped since. I feel like a giddy little school girl

 

Nice T-shirt mod, but just shows you at the lack of advertising the HHR ever got, they don't even put us on the Ecotec T-Shirt

 

So true... that's ok though, no-one realizes whats inside till its too late.

 

Not to Jack the thread.. but have you noticed all the ONLINE HHR advertisements?? They are tucked all over the pages, if you look,,,even comparing it to other so called milage monsters....

 

Question for those with Stage 1 upgrades: Are you having problems getting the front wheels to grip with the added HP? Right now without the mod I am having problems with the front wheels breaking loose from a stop condition, and I'm not exactly flooring the accelerator. My tires have 29K miles on them, so that may be part of the problem, but I seemed to recall that traction from a stop condition was always an issue since I bought the SS.

 

Nice post-it note!
What would we do without post-it notes, WD-40 and Duct tape?

 

2k launch is about all you can do

 

Welcome to the tuned club!!

 

I'm having the same problem with the Trifecia tune. Around town I switch mostly back to the stock tune, or I'll be lighting up the tires, or almost running over somebody. Gotta be careful when you got a good tune. Drive like you have a egg under the throttle[aka Little ole Lady]. "Moon"

 

I am very surprised at the lack of grip on the HHR being it weighs more than the balt but they seem to have a better 60 ft times. My next set of tires will be probably Nittos
