Pictures huh.....

The front engine mount is easily seen from the top. This is mine (not stock). The stock unit will be larger with a dull silver finish.

 

Welcome to the forum!

 

Welcome to the forum.

 

If it has the GMTU (turbo up grade) that's good for an extra 30 ponies.
I agree you should have a tuner with a dyno and HP software do a tune.
It will turn it into a little beast! good for around 330 crank HP!

 

I already PM'd a tuner on here but not sure how active he is anymore, any recommendations? & as far as the engine mounts go, those are stock. Car seems pretty strong & i plan on doing a compression test on it here soon just to make sure nothing iffy about it.

 

Which Tuner did you PM?

 

If that's what you've seen depending on what gear you were in I would say nothing has been done. Most of the people that have tunes and a few other things done are boosting the mid 20's. Have to be careful though... the OEM piston ring land area won't take a whole lot of abuse at that those levels. The clutch hates it, I have a passing gear mode on the freeway in 5th gear.

 

I PM'd cj krause, & I haven't ran the car to hard yet, as i said. I want to make sure it's pretty healthy before pushing it too much, especially with the check engine light on right now.

 

Welcome to the site, have you pulled the codes stored in the CEL memory, please post them

 

No sir, haven't had time yet. I'll be at work until 1700, hopefully i get off on time & can go get them pulled. As soon as i have them, I'll post them here for some assistance.
