(Good) News to me! Justin probably did not have time to write something up yet.

Tru2Chevy · 08-19-2008, 03:52 PM

Correct....I was running around watching Jack this morning, and just had enough time to get his banners up.

Those of you who have been around for a while might remember Charlie (1984camaroz28) - he sponsored the site for a little while back when his shop was known as Sick Speed Racing. He and I have talked on and off the last several months about the shop coming back on board as a sponsor, and he has decided to take the plunge. SSP is located in Goshen, NY, which is only ~15 minutes from the NJ border. Most of you in North East and North Central Jersey should have a pretty easy drive to his shop.

I'm sure Charlie will chime in soon with more information about his shop and what he offers.

Charlie is a good guy to deal with, and he is actually really close to the NJ border, I've been over his place a few times before.

LTb1ow · 08-19-2008, 04:45 PM

Does he do LT1 wideband tuning?

Fleetwiz · 08-19-2008, 10:37 PM

Cool...fairly close to me maybe 1/2 hour...I'll have to check it out.

qwikz28 · 08-19-2008, 11:17 PM

he did my clutch a couple years back. great work and a great guy to deal with. his shop is minutes from my work so that was mighty convenient.

and as for location, its about 5 minutes from teh woodbury commons. that should be a good way for you guys to gauge where it is

If you have someone that tunes cobalts, I'm curious to try tuning my 06 HHR 2.4 L mainly for fuel mileage, I've heard cobalt is the same platform.. I'm willing to be a guinnea pig to some extent, but not far enough that it will sacrifice any warranty or leave me stranded.

1984camaroz28 · 08-20-2008, 09:51 PM

his personal car is a SS cobalt that he replaced the blower for a turbo kit.... small turbo ,car is a daily driver. NO meth injection it made 416rwhp on a mustang dyno TOTALLY stock motor. im not shure if are software will cover ur hhr

BigAls87Z28 · 08-20-2008, 09:58 PM

I think you mean FWHP unless he is totally bad ass and some how made his Cobalt RWD.

79CamaroDiva · 08-20-2008, 09:58 PM

I don't have an SS, so might not. But if he wants to try it, and only if you're both confident in his ability to tune, i'm willing to try. Do you use HP tuners?

1984camaroz28 · 08-20-2008, 10:00 PM

yes FWHP. i will ask him tomorrow and see what he thinks

SteveR · 08-20-2008, 10:01 PM

Does the non SS Cobalt have the same 2.4L motor as the HHR?

79CamaroDiva · 08-20-2008, 10:14 PM

that's a question for al. as far as i've heard, the cars are very nearly identical under the body

Yes, should be the same engine. Maybe a little change in engine tuning, but thats about it. Still both 170hp.

Tru2Chevy · 08-20-2008, 10:55 PM

HP Tuners doesn't list any HHR support on their website....could be a different ECM that they haven't cracked yet.

79CamaroDiva · 08-20-2008, 10:56 PM

its not on the website, but i've seen it on the forums. I've already been in touch with bill

they don't "support" it, but that doesn't mean it cant be done.

Why does no one like LT1s?

BigAls87Z28 · 08-21-2008, 04:32 PM

Opti and OBD1 for the majority of them.
Its ok, TPI had it for years. Its your turn now.

LTb1ow · 08-21-2008, 04:33 PM

No fun at all.

Damn LS1s

rscamaro73 · 08-21-2008, 04:48 PM

Try and find folks that know how to tweak a Q jet.....

I got one in Philly.

My only beef/concern is some of these dyno places are great when it comes to computers, but when it comes to older cars with carbs (like mine) its like a 'lost art' or something....I'm not bagging this guy here....but I'm just stating something that's been seen quite a bit across the country....
