My run's at US131 Motorsports Park
Bought my HHR SS in mid August, tracked it the day I bought it and ran a 15.0, month and a half+$750 dollars later I knocked almost 1.5 off 
. I've tracked it at 3 different drag events, 1 auto-x, and I had an invite today for a road course event but had to pass. Next season!
Went to the dragstrip earlier this month though, made a total of 17 passes, clocking 4.25 miles today in 1/4 mile passes alone
. I caught up to the Cobalt finally, with 400lbs extra. My 60' times are horrible, part of this is due to the Trifecta tune limiting 1st gear to 5psi boost and a huge bog associated with such. I'd like 1st to be limited, but just now caught how low it is and after speaking to Ryan @ ZZP that is no good for my 60' times nor is it worth a damn to launch.
Next season, retune to cure such and swapping to E85 for a nice additional gain, seeking a 12.9 on stock turbo
.
Anyhow, top 3 timeslips-
The wagattack with it's unpainted wheels-
A 10-second flat automatic Cobalt-
A local buddie's '06 with 170,000 miles, nothing internally ever done, intake/dp/stock pulley, and he pulled a 14.49 out of it!-

The 13.79 I did a 2nd to 3rd NLS, didn't on any other run.
No launch, took off as I would @ a stoplight and rolled into it, Trifecta tune has my boost reducted to 5psi in 1st so any launch attempt ended in a MASSIVE BOG. That became highly annoying as I suffered **** 60' times. That needless to say is being addressed this winter as well.

Either you are *****footing it[read not driving it right], or something is wrong with your tune. I've had the Trifecta tune, and even with a auto trans, 1st gear is around 20Lbs boost. Definately no bog here, major wheelspin.

My tune is via Vince himself and he acknowledged that it was written with 5psi limitation, and no this wasn't per me. So eliminate your "not driving it right" assumption.
Obviously I know such is the problem with my bog, and my 60' times.
