LOL! If you can keep your foot out of it, anyway. The turbo whistle and the bypass valve is addicting. Make sure you do a search on launch control so you know how to play with it on the test drive. Press traction control twice within five seconds to activate competitive mode, put your foot on the brake, floor it, and release. Instant fun.

Good to know!

I love turbo cars...I've had a turbo miata ('91 with www.flyinmiata.com FMII kit) and a mazdaspeed6 '06.

Nothing like WOT to no throttle and get a good WHOOSH! from the BOV!

Oh cool! Good to have some more turbo experience here. For alot of the HHR people, this is a new experience. I have more than many, but I don't understand the deeper parts of turbo theory (like reading compressor maps) myself.

the SS is running great ....but I have never used the LAUNCH CONTROL as AaronSS has stated above....I believe if I were to do that, I would fry the tires in seconds with this tune..... for most of the testing that I have done, I always use LAUNCH CONTROL, but usually off idle, or at 1000 rpm's or so, I think I will save the above procedure for when I go to the track......
and that may be soon........

Have you tried that yourself? I did at the track and couldn't get any traction, then it just bogged out when it shifted.

Seems like a great product from what I can see. I wonder when Crane Cams and Hypertech are going to come out with something. I wish the Tuner was a tad cheaper $499.00. I would have bought it by now.

Get a H/P Tuner program or get someone local to tune it for you... I got 4 tuners here in Houston and I'm getting mine tuned Sun.

Then again, just like a Micro$oft vs Linux debate there is a product for everyone!
True enough..but one must keep in mind that the BSR PPC option, is not only the most user-friendly, it also involves a tuning approach based upon literally years of working with the Bosch DI system in Europe. Catching up with this extensively tested and proven capability is likely to take more than...overnight

Perhaps, but doesn't appear to be the case this time!

I'd agree...if I was willing to throw caution to the wind. I just can't!
