Hello HHR fans I am The second owner of a 2009 HHR SS, and I would like to step up the power. Can anyone recomend a good power programmer.

 

i like my superchips cortex, but it voids warranty in most cases. if you have the money the gm upgrade is really good and keeps factory warranty

and WELCOME to the forum!

 

Welcome to the GlockSS.
Do you mean besides the factory "stage" kit which is done at the dealer?

 

Welcome!

 

ya the GMS1 is done at the dealer, they may charge an hour to do it, so at another $115 to your price, i work at a dealer as a tech

 

GlockSS: If your'll looking for more dependable power, forget programmer. Programmer's can only do so much, and not worth the money spent. Start thinking a good tune, which is a better deal, and more power, at about the same cost. Look around at what some of the guys are running here, and that will help you make a wise choice.
I myself, I have the Trifecta tune, and I have all the power that I can put down, and no problems in two years. Cost was $400.00, and well worth it. "Moon"

 

I have stg1 and trifecta, I would skip the stg1 and call Vince. Mine also was 450.00 including cable, and unlimited updates. Trifecta rocks

 

So what is the power gain with the Trifecta on a stock set up ?

 

depends if you are a 5speed or auto. Without blowing stock parts, 300-310hp and 350 to 380 torque.
