10k miles was also with an 11hr trip to PA and back and a 11 hr trip to Disney World and back. So should probably be closer to 7k if it wasn;t for those 2 trips.
Took me forever to break in miles on the van after the rebuild and after the clutch install on the HHR SS, I'm letting the wife drive it to work and back everyday till I get 500 miles on it.
My van is probably sitting around 3k total miles since the engine rebuild

Well the van is only pushing 15 psi on t he SOHC head, it should be able to hang with alot of ****.
I think its about even with the HHR SS with bigger turbo upgrade right now. But the HHR SS is pushing 26 psi and the van is AWD
I wouldn't use the word rape with confidence until I bolt on the DOHC w/ cams and turn the boost up to 20-22 psi.
Right now I'm at a wall where the SOHC won't flow enough air in/out to support more then 15 psi on that turbo.
By the way I'm probably driving the van down to the SPEC meet this Sunday.
I figure it would make a better conversation piece since I rebuilt the motor, turbo'd it, etc.
I drove the van for 3 weeks while the HHR SS was down getting the turbo upgrade, but that was locally.
I had no problems but thats alot different then driving 2 hrs one way.

I was really wanting to ride in your HHR with the BNR because I am thinking of getting it and like i said I need real world experiences before I drop the hammer on it. I like what ZZP is doing but in all honesty I don't think I will need a 500 whp fwd car , I won't be able to track it efficiently and I don't want to just drag my cobalt.

Well alot of those guys are going to be at spec clutch meet also, I wonder if we shouldn't go.
I really don't feel like getting into it with other people because they are going to be asshats if any of us show up in domestics.

thats what im afraid of....thats one reason im not going, because if i was to go it would be in the slobalt....ive never understood close minded people....life's short ya know? my mom died at 35....after that day i took on a new lease on life.....
i really dont know anyone on that site, and from what i can tell they are a bunch of close minded people that have circle jerk's every other weekend....i posted a build thread on my altima and i got bashed because its an altima....
stockish....
now....
^^^its cammed
theres $12k in that car....i couldnt fit the mod list on one page if i tried lol...besides, you cant argue with a mid 14 second n/a stock block, with 30 miles on a rebuilt head and as always its got "fo do's, fo mo ho's!"
this is why im always on this site...the slobalt is the wife's but id rather kick it with open minded people

I specifically built the van to be different and to embarrass people.
Soon it will be done, and if it aint fast enough at 22 psi I will jerk out the factory computer, re-wire it with a DSM e-prom computer and crank that bitch up to 30 psi if i have to.
Only real thing I'm currently worried about is it doesn't hit full boost on the sohc head till 3.5k rpms, well the van redlines at 6.5k. So after this dohc head mod and cyclone intake mod w/ boost activated butterflies
If the turbo doesn't hit full boost by 3-3.2k I will be swapping for a faster spooling turbo.

Don't worry about those type of people HHR. I never listen to the honda fanboi's I just nod my head and tell them my car is slow. I think the spec meet will be fun, I am a car enthusiast so I love getting to shoot the bull with different car type owners. I'll let the honda fanboi's say or think anything they want to about my car because in all honesty I could give two ***** what they think lol.

i'm sure they'll have their calculator in hand relaying their hp/liter
and I'm sorry I got a kick out of a lot of their "kill stories" most of them involve old early SN-95(the sick 4.6L) mustangs... you know the ones that barely got out of the 15s....... lol
"I pulled him 3 times"
lol
I would hope, that car was slow in 1995, it was having to race 13 second Lt1 Z28s, lol
