Would gladly let you have mine, but I am in the Philly area
Will the tune that you develop be for both the 5spd and Auto?
And how will it affect or how do you project it will affect the outcome between the two?
I know you really have to do both, to get the answer, I guess what I am hoping is with all of the tranny talk with the Auto, that any increases, the Auto will be able to withstand the changes...

Greetings - new to the site.

My HHRSS is only 2 weeks old with +/-1000 miles and I can't quit smiling when I drive. 29 MPG all day long so I don't mind premium fuel.

Has anyone gone down to 89 octane and seen any change in performance or experienced knock?

With our intercooler and tuner upgrades, we are generally seeing a 60 WHP increase.

We are pursuing both models. The answers are not clear yet as to whether the auto trans will handle the same kind of power as the manual, but we are hopeful there will be room for some upgrade with them.

Well, hook a brother up, Mr. Moderator! If you'd be so kind as to alert management to the omission, I would be most appreciative.
