I know. I haven't figured out how to bottle it though?

You just need to hold out for the (soon to be released!) SoCalHHRs' SHAI (super hot air intake) system!

Rumor is that it is a gaseous collection device placed on the driver's seat connected via tubing to the intake. During testing it was noted that HP output was largely dependent upon pre-test diet.

More to come....

You probably had your a/c vent set to "fresh air." Hit the reset button, then roll all 4 windows down and back up at once, then try it again.

Joe - you left out the part about the optional blow-drier "turbine accelerator."

Just the "Seat-o-the-pants" dyno. I've been in the automotive aftermarket industry for over 20-years (magazine publishing), and have modded hundreds of cars. I can tell you this - the IMCO Turbo we are using offers a nice increase in power (guessing 5-7hp), coupled with a deep throaty tone. Your mpg should jump up about 2mpg/hwy also as the engine runs easier while cruising. It provides just enough back pressure for the engine, while leaving just a smidgen of room for more performance when an intake comes out.

Those are my impressions and I've been running it for almost 3-months now.

Hope it helps,

Thanks for the response Mike.... The 'Seat-o-Pants' meter works for me. Really trying to wait for cold-hard numbers before dumping $ into parts like a cat-back or otherwise. If I've learned anything over my life it's that I've prolly wasted more $$ on CRAP than anything else!
Too bad I can't get rid of this itch to spend money on my HHR!!!! Hey... SoCal's should sell some kinda lotion to cure that problem
Thanks again!
