I don't see why it wouldn;t work. I didn;t try it though. The colours are different on the stock connector but I traced them so It should be fine.

If it doens;t work just give it back to me or I'll tell you which pins to switch

I'm im no rush to get the ic I'm putting my car away at end of october if you want to wait till then even . Doesn;t matter to me

Block heater... I don't think my car has one but haven't looked. Any of you guys use them or have opinions on them? Maybe an oil pan heater?

No block heater here. Gm days its good to till -45 with synthetic. Our cars block does not have the mounting point for one. Oil Pan heater is an option many use.
Never even a stutter starting at -35 here. And I can't say that for my base cobalt that had a block heater. Damn near vibrate my car apart on a "cold start"

Seems like extra abuse. Gonna feel guilty but I guess the synthetic makes a huge difference. Guys at work say they show a video at RRC of a old Dodge engine that took over 2 mins for oil to reach the head.

Synthetic is crazy different. It wot gell up when cold. However having a warmer block can't hurt everything else. Seels and what not.

They dont come with block heaters. Magnetic pan heater is your best option. I didn't use one the winter I drove mine and it started fine every day

Thanks. Guess I'll try not to stress about it.

Also had to exchange a tool today and look what I found. Perfect timing.

Small bottles weren't on sale though. But saved me just under $15.

I miss having my Grand Prix and just being able to dump a 4.4L container in without having to check oil level. I have OCD or something and can't stand checking my oil level or filling my tires.

Mentioning that what type of pressure gauge do you guys use? I want mine all to be identical kPa.

It takes too long to display changes and I get pissed off.

Oh and should I be able to beat a STI from a 50 pull? He had me from a digg hard and from 100 but from 50 I was just gone and he wasn't catching me.

I have a catless dp. No tune. He had exhaust and a bov. Even at 100 he was barely pulling.

My shifts were so much quicker than him. Nls makes me look like a pro.

I just use an el cheepo Gas station push stick style air guage. I go by the Factory ones but not when im filling my tires because at this point none of my sensors are where they say they are lol.

Plus the delay is a nightmare.
