I may try it with my HHR if it works well for CJ.

 

Looks good CJ. keep us posted on how it goes.

 

Drove it tonight all over town in D gear and definately more pick up and quicker and it just feels freer like it is not held back. tranny seems to shift smoother at higher rpms when i push it a little. has a nice new engine sound with it all open.

will fill up tomorrow morning and start the city mpg countdown. then will post what i get going to FL to Satellite Beach- 1183 miles one way. shooting for 17hours w stops. will see how it goes.

 

How is this any better performance wise?

 

well i am not on a track
i didnt go to a race track
i am using a plain stop watch and driving and doing it at the same time

when i did it like this i never got under high 10's to 12's
so for me it is faster

there are no 1/4 mile tracks around here, just 1/8 mile
when i get a chance to track and tune, i will

i just love all the ones who love to correct people,,, dont ya just want to give em a big hug
oh and i love what all you have done to your blue hhr

 

See the "5M" in that graph you posted?

That stands for 5-speed Manual.

CJ has an automatic.

 

Not trying to correct anyone, just questioning some confusing info.

I will admit that mine will take a while before any mods, I don't believe in throwing away a perfectly good warranty, especially on a first year model.

 

Live life to the fullest... you don't know if you'll be here tomorrow..

 

I am not throwing away any warranty with the mods i have done so far. i have taken the HHR to the dealer in for a look at a couple of things and they love mine. ask me tons of ?'s about it.

and if you notice on mine,,, it still looks stock on everything.

i have almost 14000 miles on my car in 27.5 weeks and i can tell you i love the way it is running now w the standard filter gone.

i am going to get a aliminum pipe going, build me my own MAF sensor holder on the side welding it. make it one pipe, then completely cover the pipe in heat shield so it reduces the heat of the pipe and then paint it. run a hose from the front of the filter to the bottom grill so it gets ram air into the filter and it will then be alot better on the temp and the temp of the engine not affecting it as much and it will have lots of air

 

sounds like it will work good to me.
I was thinking of running a hose from the "FOG" light hole to the filter. My buddy has that on his mustang and it works good.
I don't have my "FOG" lights in yet.
