AZ HHR SS guys.
Here is the write up I did on the Stage 1 kit for the HHR SS

I recommend Power Chevy in Peoria, AZ for this install. Very Professional and Very Reasonable for price. Besides, mine was the first so mistakes would be less. The Tech was awesome.

The Look and Feel.. Of GMPP Stage 1... I was charged 2 hrs or $199.56. Not bad. All wires were wrapped and heat shrinked. 1st one done at Power Chevy and they wanted to know more and want feed back on how it drives.
Let me say that it hit 20psi and I was gone. I havent got on it 1st but I did get on it in 2nd and 3rd and 4th and it pulled very good. Getting on the Freeway I hit 95mph long before the merge and was still only in 3rd gear.
It felt like my Z28 did when it was stock which ran a 13.2 stock @ 106mph. I'm also stuck with running 91 oct here in AZ.
I spoke to the service guy for a long while along with the tech and they said that Exhaust, IC Piping, and Intercooler would not void warranty because those items will not cause parts to break. Racing will because people came in with their Stage 2 colbalt with busted trannys but he said that he remembers seeing something that GM fixed those weak parts. They also understand that the TMAp sensors were replaced probably in case GM throws more parts out like "Cough Cough" updated manifold and Turbo.
I am very pleased with what it did. On a scale from 1-10, I give it a 9. Because I now have a ton of TQ steer.
BTW, Im not sure it you guys knew this but they said because I didn't buy from a dealership they couldn't warranty the parts. Is this true? Any who. Good Deal.
