Dude that looks pretty sweet honestly, anyways. I see where your coming from, I guess because I am pursuing an Auto degree at the local tech school it doesnt look too bad to me. I kinda know how to weld(would just have my teacher do it) but otherwise not too bad. Looks great, been dyno'd yet?

the plan is as soon as i touch down friday night im going to take the car out and rack up, or as close as i can, 100 miles and then change the oil saturday morning. Then put another 100 miles on it coming down to great lakes crossing mall near you and change the oil again while im down there. Then she will be good for some WOT data logging for Vince and send the resaults to him so he can adjust accordingly and then do that process repeated until he has it right. He already had a good starting point with me and now an updated starting point w/ an HHR sts that he tuned. So i would say that it shouldnt take too much tweak and peak of the tune after the first WOT data log. I would say probably about 3 to 4 hours of work.

Std "high po" ecotec brake in goes as fallowing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Start car on NON-SYNTHETIC oil...let idle and reach full operating temp. idle for ~20min.
shut off and drain oil.
2) REFILL with NON-SYNTHETIC AND NEW FILTER for the next 100mi
Drain oil.
3) REFILL again with NON-SYNTHETIC AND NEW FILTER for ~500mi.
drain oil.
4)REFILL with SYNTHETIC AND NEW FILTER drive for 2000mi.
drain oil and refill, use new filter.
5) Resume normal oil changes.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
the non-syn oil is thicker and will capture metal shavings better, it will also allow more friction between the new rings and the block so they bite in quicker.
