If that E-47 LNF HHR did not pull him you do not have a chance. Unless there is something wrong with that HHR it should trap around 110-112 MPH.

Cool!Not going to stop me from running him lol.Like I said,he couldnt pull me on the on ramp and his ET is slower than mine.All in all should be a good race...I've stopped a couple cars that trap higher and have lower ETs than me.My cars have freak moments that no one really can explain lol

Edit:
I just talked to him and he said he is basically falling on his face when switching to 3rd, that explains the cars pulling on him top end like that. He stated that the car was running at 240* which is probably why its falling on its face. Have you seen anything why it would be running so hot?

Just seems like the HHR was doing well until it shifted into maybe 4th? Im not sure. I will check into the tune, not sure if there is much I can do.

I know the LNF temp spikes during long pulls (I've seen mine go from 200 to 227 on a 120mph pull, but cools back down almost immediately after I let off the gas). Doesn't the auto also run cooling lines through the radiator? If so, could just be too much heat from tranny, turbo, engine, etc. Of course I could be wrong about everything, and if so just ignore this post.

I got my new gauges finally! But the new boost gauge they sent me under warranty is a vacuum/boost gauge. That's all good, but the sender is threaded. Like it is designed to be threaded right into the manifold. Is this is probably the best idea, and something I should look into. Where would you guys drill and tap in the manifold to read boost pressures? Right by the TMAP?

Hello folks.....I should be moving out that way from the Chicago area in the next 2 months or so and figured I'd pop in here and say what's up. I'll probably end up in the Tucson area. My mother in law is retiring and moving out there and the wife and kids and I are gonna follow.
Anybody know of some good apartments or some cheap ones that are in a good area that we could do something short term until I get a job and back on our feet?
