Quick update -- I've been working 12+ hrs. a day and have been driving my GXP so the SS has been in the garage since my return from HRC. I got the SS out wed. and wanted to see how it runs, compared to the GXP which has about the same upgrades except the GXP is an automatic. After some very hard driving I would say the SS is quicker, but would need to take both of them to the track to find out. The SS with the 5-speed is a lot more fun to drive. I have noticed no turbo lag at all with the piping and intercooler. It seemes to have a lot more when the turbo goes full boost. I think it is a lot smoother and it will spin real bad in 1st and also in 2nd and it can be a real hand full in 3rd with all the tq. and 4th pulls very hard as well. It is amazing how fast you get to 100. I think the next big improvement will be the BOV that Bill is working on. I don't know how much the piping helps but I don't have to worry about the plastic tubing coming apart at 25psi. I've checked all conections on the piping and everyone is holding fine, with the supplied clamps. Nice job Bill.

 

People should list their mods..

anyways, I take it you have all the mods from Bill Hahn now?

 

Yes. Hahn Racecraft 5-speed test mule. BSR tune, Hahn intercooler, Hahn piping.

 

Freaking Lucky. Did they Dyno it?

 

Yes and no. It was dynoed when the BSR tune was put in. Check out there web site. When I picked it up this last time we were in a hurry and ran out of time. I am going back up to have it dynoed and hopefully a trip to Bill's local drag strip.

 

Yawn. I realize he's probably busy doing actual work, but I'd sure love to hear from Bill on availability for these products that many of us are climbing the walls for. Sometimes we start to get so itchy that we buy other things with our money... and then don't have any left for the goodies

I may have to spend my money on starting my new collection of speciality keychains if Bill isn't ready to roll out more parts for our cars...

 

Is there any update on these?

 

Nothing on their site, nothing on their maillist, and nothing from a specific email I sent asking for status. I'm ready to buy, but they're apparently not ready to sell.

 

Yeah, they said intercooler piping would be available in August and it is the last week of August

The intercooler and intake say September.

Is there a downpipe in the works?

 

I'm now dead in the water waiting on a replacement plastic piece from GM to fix my car (as several others have experienced). I'd be up and running in a hearbeat if I could get hard pipes from Hahn. Bill's disappeared off the board... I appreciate their being busy... busy is a good thing when you own a business. But it would be great to get some kind of tangible updates from them on these parts. Their site still tells me they'll be available August '08. C'mon guys, keep us posted.
