what was it? all I saw was an HHR SS 
sounds really nice and looks like it moves out!!
Dans sounds badass too. he brought it by for a tire repair and we talked him into heat cycling the tires when he left

I'm getting him there. How were your gains over pump gas? Are you a mix or straight e85?

Thanks man, I can't wait to see how yours comes together with the 6speed. The guys at straightline were saying if I had a 6speed i'd have no problem hitting over 800whp and 1000wtq on the dyno. I'm forged, but you got more cubes so if the tune is spot on and you hit about 14-15psi I could see you getting there as we share alot of the same configuration.

I'm closing in on your torque numbers buddy although the RWD doesn't help me get anywhere quickly

Awesome little truck.
As much as a lot of guys hate the HHR, I absolutely love mine, and with almost 175k it's been just dead nuts reliable. I love the room the most, five fullsize tires and 35mpg can't be beat.
Mine is just a 2.2 5-speed, I bought it dirt cheap from a guy who couldn't sell it because it was a 5-speed. Always loved the SS version, but just couldn't justify driving such a rare little truck into the ground daily. Someday i'll find a cobalt SC and slap that on there instead.
I run Cobalt SSTC springs in mine, dropped it about 1.5" and clears my Solstice GXP wheels perfectly fine. The ride on the SS springs is way better than most of the aftermarket ones.

it does quite fine pulling my 32' gooseneck with the camper and s10 on it (total weight is about 15,000# and total weight with d-max is about 22,500)hopefully we can hit the track this year and I'll bring my friend with his genesis coupe too.
