Just bought my Ingen intake, Cobalt Addiction shorty header, and XTC 2.5 down pipe with no cat. Next week I am hoping to get my exhaust done, and also buy my Eibach's. I am hoping with all these and my HP tune I can break into the 14's. :D

Very nice. To be honest I'm incredinly excited about this big news from Hahn - but at the same time I am nervous about losing the warranty... it is a GM for God's sake.

In my advantage, I'll like be able to pay off the car and buy the turbo kit here in about 9 months, I figure if the car is paid for and I have a major problem I'll be able to afford to fix it..

sweet. I have the CA header and the XTC 2.5" de-cat downpipe on my SS. It works well, but the downpipe sounds somewhat airey for some reason.........kinda annoying b/c it makes you think your exhaust is always leaking. I've heard ZZP's downpipe does the same thing though too........hmmm....

Also, that downpipe is gonna make your car throw mad CEL's. My car runs like ass right now, but once I get it tuned w/ HP Tuners and throw on the SS/SC injectors this Thur, she 'oughta be back with a bang!

I ran a 15.001 with my mods. Intake and vector tune at 8000 miles on the car. I don't see why he can't get 14s.

No you're not. You're running an 1/8th mile time and then using ricer-conversion to estimate a 1/4 mile time. Totally inaccurate.

if people are hitting 15 flats then yes you can get 14s

i just ran the thing today. i ran a 14.84 1/4 @93mph. 0-100mph i think was about 16 or 17 secs.

oh so you're probably really running 14.9s but still good

rlinden86
06-14-2007, 01:56 PM
well i had 5 runs. i did a couple form 0-100 and the rest i did till about it stopped. there was 14.98 14.87 and 14.85 or something like that. but the rest were like 15s and 16s i was calibrating it it still needs some tweaking though.

OMG. Until you have a timeslip, you don't have a 1/4 mile time. Gauges, conversions, stopwatches, or sundials won't cut it. Don't you understand that???

Put it this way... there is no way that you ran a better 1/4 mile time than ANYONE has posted on this site when you were running on the street rather than a prepped track like everyone else that has posted their times on here. I call BS on your 14.8 from the gauge.

REDFOCZ, I was told by an authorized HP Tuners tuner/shop that they can't log in the '07 LE5 engines to HP Tuners yet. So how is it your tuned with HP Tuners? Or am I being told b/s, lol. Man, i'm tired of the run around I get with this damn car. I've never owned a car where it took THIS LONG to find a reliable tuner for it. All I get is "be patient". And no im not gonna tune it myself as I know nadda about tuning.

The fix........I might just sell the damn car when the '08 Caliber SRT-4s come out. I'm tired of f**ing with this stupid car, lol.

But for now, im gonna go ahead with the 19"s, maybe tint the windows, and keep rolling around with a half-ass-potential 2.4SS littered with CEL's and a hesitating ECU. Oooooh yeaaah. :cool:

Second, got the intake on this afternoon and I'll be damn. This thing screams with it.

You should throw on a header/dp/hfc/catback, that screams...

Plus, I don't see why 14's aren't possible, ran a 14.862 at a local dragstip (yes 1/4 mile). I plan on going back soon since the fkn slip flew out the window. Might drop by there tomorrow for a few runs on my way to Florida.

yeah, I was told the '07 was still in beta testing. Pro Motion wants me to come by and hook my car up to the laptop to see if it can even log my car into HP Tuners. I guess i'll do that and go from there. I'm hoping my car will be tuned by......oh.......2012 or so. lol

On the bright side, im ordering my 19"s this Friday and my 18"s are going to my girlfriend for her '05 Tibby. :cool:

I was able to scan my car, but was unable to lisance it. Have them Email HPT and ask for the beta 2.1.19 update so you can tune your car. You should be set then :cssNET:

im curious what kinda gas do u use in your car? Im guessing ur 5spd?

Gas? I use 93 octane per Vector's requirement. It is a 5 speed and I flat foot shift 2nd and 3rd gears. But for the fact that my tires are HORRIBLE launchers I would easily be in the 14s. I think the trap was 97-99mph consistently.

If you know nothing about tuning, why don't you call up Vector send your ECU to them get their tune and enjoy 1.5 second faster quarter mile times and no CELs no hesitattions nothing. I've had this tune for almost 9000 miles and not ONE PROBLEM...NONE!

You were traping 97-99 MPH in a bolt on 2.4? Thats kinda high for such a high for your 1/4 mile time

You might be right...let me check the time slips again. It might be more towards mid 90s let me see....
