Exactly, Telling people they cannot find it likely shows, at some level, a lack of understanding of the electronics and programming involved. Since this isn't a 'black market' item, GM will know it's out there and could look for it. They may not know where it resides -yet- but if they get the module to a programmer, as Z said, they will find it. The data for the fuel/ignition/timing/boost tables are there and all they have to do is compare memory addresses to a stock tune.

That's why they call it a stealth tune, otherwise they could expose themselves to a lawsuit. If it was impossible, they would most certainly advertise it accordingly. I have gotten crap for stating this before from a couple people here, but it nevertheless is accurate.

Not knocking the product at all. I have read a lot of good reviews about it and have not seen a single bad word about it (rare these days). Just trying to clear up some confusion on this subject.

Don't know about that but I like the SS in Silver, first one I've seen.

Does anyone know of upgrades beside the Stage 1 GM upgrade which won't effect my warranty.Thanks ya'll
Hahn produces super quality products, and I have pretty much everything they have made for the HHR SS. I have the Hahn/PPC tune and am very happy with the results (over 30,000 miles using it). I think all the available tunes will give you power that will make you happy. I like the fact that you can go back to stock and reload the tune very quickly anytime you feel like it with the Hahn/PPC handheld. The GM tune of course is great since it retains the warranty. A very cool feature of the Trifecta tune is being able to engage or disengage it with the push of a button (TC). So take your pick and have fun. I also have the HPTuners Software, but other than looking at the tables, haven't really used it.

People who have bought his tune, seem to really like it. I'm going to be next.
That is insane. Come spring that tune is going in my SS.

Now the only question is whether I put the switch on the cruise button or the tc button.

Yes, this is true, but the dealer will not be looking for it in most cases.

The problem will be when someone starts talking about it and send the letter to other Dealers. No matter what, I still like the idea with the on and off option.

BTW, what are people gaining over the Stage 1 kit? I have HP tuner but I don't have time to do all that mess.

Thanks for the info, I am still in the saving process. As soon as I have the ability to purchase I will most likely be getting the Stage 1 by GM. I have found it for as little as 400.00 which isn't that bad. I am looking forward to exhaust and intake upgrades when the warranty expires, or when GM comes up with something.

Sorry Bill, Got carried away with the questions here, I asked to have all the posts moved to a new thread I started..

Please? To all posting with the Trifecta Questions to post them in the new thread I started. Not in The Hahn Thread. Lets be polite.
Thank you very much.
