Heh, hit the nail on the head my friend, I'm much happier with my tune from Trifecta. I've got the money to spend if something breaks out of warranty though, I know a lot of other people here need that warranty...happy day for them!

I don't think 315 torque is right, is it? I thought it was looking something like 340 like the GXP/Sky Redline...

They only stated HP in the article, not torque, so since we've got the same powertrain as the manual GXP/Sky Redline, I'm guessing we've got 340, not 315...

Hopefully itll show up sooner than later. It would be a drag to have to wait until the end of July for this thing. (In Minnesota you have to savor the warm weather as it isnt here long)

You're right, I coulda swore I read torque in there when I first read the article...my guess would be the same rating as the manual GXP/Redline then.

This article doesnt mention torque numbers but this one did:

http://tunersource.gmblogs.com/blog/...e-kit-released

On the manual transmission Solstice and Sky, you’ll be greeted with 340 lb.-ft or torque out of the 2.0L ECOtec, while in the automatic transmission models and the HHR SS you’ll have the option of laying down 325 lb.-ft or 315 lb.-ft respectively.

To everyone that grabbed a different tune and loves it: Glad you're happy with what you have, but please refrain from bashing the GM Upgrade for its lower numbers. I believe that, like me, most of the people getting the GM Upgrade want it for the extra kick and the full warranty that it comes with, so I hope we can all be tuned and happy with our own decisions.

To everyone that waited for the GM Upgrade: Finally some official news! I'm psyched and I plan on dynoing, running the 1/4, and writing a full review on it even if I'm not the first to get it.

I figured it would be the same at the HHR but now Im wondering if the intake will jack up the price.

you'd think they would've put bigger numbers than the other kits since it has an intake upgrade too
