My intro to this site, and my HHR SS....

Just bought my HHR SS (5 speed/G85) on August 5th this year, bone stock, I've modded it a tad already and have tracked it 3 times (2 drag, 1 auto-x). Traded in my 2005 Cobalt SS/SC for it.

I loved my SS/SC, it basically had a stage 2 kit, with a bennyhhr/Joe Rutledge tune running a 2.85 pulley and supporting mods. Hence why I had to get this up to par as quickly as possible. Best of 13.6@104, and with pulley drop an estimated 270whp after dyno'ing 250 with a 3.06" and complete stock exhaust.

Anyhow!

Past month I've added the following-
ZZP 3" catless downpipe
Dejon short ram intake w/AEM DryFlow
ZZP upper intercooler pipe
Dejon upgraded BPV spring
MPx oil catch can
Trifecta Tune (22psi)
Progress rear swaybar

Welcome,

Hope you enjoy your new SS. Is that dealership Suburban Chrysler Jeep at the Troy motor mall? Buildings look pretty familiar to me.

I did a test drive on a RC SRT10 Ram about 2 months ago at that dealership. It was slower than my 2 bolt ons and tuned L. Any major plans for the SS?

Nothing major at the moment, as I know a clutch is waiting. I'm eyeballing ZZP's EFR turbo deal, but I'm quite content with performance now, so I think I'm going to focus on a clutch before Spring, and doing something with the suspension,thinking Pedder's. I commute 400 miles a week for work, so I need a happy medium.
