nope nope it doesnt work

 

speaking of gm kit, does a gmpp chevy dealer have to do it or any chevy dealer? if a gmpp dealer, then does anyone know of any in central nj?

 

It is not a very complicated install so I highly doubt you would need a GMPP dealer to do the work (Can any of the HHR guys with the upgrade verify this?)

As for Central NJ, there is a dealer (Superior Chevrolet) on Route 1 right next to Quaker Bridge Mall that I will be going to should the kit ever be released. Only a 10 minute drive for me....might be a bit longer for you.

And yes, I have already harrassed their parts department about the availability of the kit....they have no idea when it will be released.

 

no one does.

they are keeping it well under wrapp

asshats...

 

My uncle worked in the former Performance Division, they've all been sent to other assignments so till they come back (which maybe a few years) no kit for the SS\TC.......Also not releasing it due to trouble with the kit itself on the HHR and GMs financial issues.....

It will NOT be out, if at all, before the end of 2009...... Besdies... this kit only makes the HHR\SS pwr go from 260hp stock to 290hp... HPT's will take you to 310 for half the price.... 20 more hp can make a big difference in mph in the quarter .

 

What kind of trouble is the HHR experiencing with the kit?

 

I was thinking the same thing.....please explain what these problems are....its new to me if there are problems with the HHR's.

 

did you just say that there will be no gm stage kit for the cobalt ss/tc? or not for a few years?

 

He's advertising for HPT

 

so if this guy is correct, (just saying 'if') the concencus i'm getting from most folks is that the trifecta tune is the best for the money. correct me if i'm wrong, but people are making 300whp with just the tune itself and no other mods?? and it's been found so far to be safe?? seems like not much cash for such huge gains, almost 2 good 2 b true..

i don't know a thing about hp tuners and how it works and how much $ it is. i hear also bout the pyschotune or something? then, the overpriced hahn tune? decisions, decisions

 

The tune is just a calibration that is flashed to the PCM/ECU. The quality of the tune depends on the person(s) adjusting the settings.

 

I don't believe it
go read solstice sky forums.....they are still working.
Camaro still came out
I call BS

 

This guy is advestising for HP tuners or something, he is the only person who said that the kit wasnt coming out for another year. I call BS, Tom at CED said it was coming within the next month and he would know

 

.
yup

 

dont call bs. it makes sense. they have been putting it off and they did move almost all of the performance division to hybrids. they only have a handful of people workin in performance and thats for the camaro and the corvette. and once again hes right. for the same price or less you will get much more hp.
stock whp is about 245
with trifecta's tune, widow has about 305 whp
thats a hell of alot better than 290 hp

 

Yeah...I think you got it right

 

with this cars technology with its learn down features i want to hold warranty, buy gmpp and get not 290hp but they are saying 315mhp....and maybe a cai...this will translate into close to 300whp
this is what ive been waiting for by not modding yet

 

i dont wanna upset you but gmpp wont have it out for atleast a year.
if u get were to ever get a tune and u need to go to the dealership to get something fixed you can get the tune set back to its original settings

 

This kit is being released by GM Performance Parts not Performance Division.

It is coming out, according to the CARB there already is an 08 SS/TC upgrade ready.

So who has the kit?

 

GMPP is currently one of the few profitable divisions that GM has... so the kits release has nothing to do with the Performance division being shut down, as GMPP is its own identity

 

honestly I want the gmpp kit for the sensors I don't give two flips about their tune.

here the deal

gmpp = warranty with less power but awesome sensors $600

hpt = more power no warranty stock sensors. $250

I will spend the extra $350 for the sensors and my warranty.

 

^^^ I'm also in it for the sensors, but as I don't care about the flash like you, I don't give a flip about the warranty, its garbage as it is.

 

what is it about these 'awsome sensors' that come with gm tune, what is the big deal about it, please explain....
