I will likely be getting the gmtu in the fairly near future. I haven't really heard any negative reviews on it. So it seems like it would be the best upgrade for the price when I decide I want a little more power out of it.

 

Well. Last night I finally got to see my HHR SS and take it for a drive. It has pleasantly surprised me with how quick it is. But the things I've read about traction issues when launching it from a stop are no joke. Every time I try to do a boost launch at all, I just end up leaving 2 black marks down the road.

 

That means you should skip stg-1 just tune it to boost 24. The only way to hook up is better tires. Fun aren't they...

 

Yeah, it's fun. I had originally planned on a tune being my first mod but now I think it may be a few mods to help traction.

 

upper motor mount is a start....scrap the junk tires would be another place to start... oh the list is long...

 

The TTR mount is definitely on the to do list. As far as the tires go, the dealer installed a new set of Michelin Pilot HXMX M4s right before I bought it. After reading reviews of them, it looks like there are a lot of people out there who have had traction issues with these tires. Though, with how much I'm spinning them, it won't be too long before I need to replace them.
