Re: Not for Nuthin' But Close!
Awesome, thanks for the advice. One more question - Did you make any transmission shift adjustments that really picked up the car? or what about the torque management? IE: I messed with the torque management, but it seemed to slide into gear, so I went back to factory settings..

Re: Not for Nuthin' But Close!
Which HP Tuners setup did you start with? Picked up my 2005 Sunfire on Friday. Previous owners says it jumped timing so first thing is to get it running and see where to go from here. Having to bring shop equipment from home shop 200 miles away to get started on it next weekend. Just trying to get my ducks in a row on this project. Thanks for posting this thread. It should be interesting if I can match your results.

Re: Not for Nuthin' But Close!
I've spent a couple of hours removing the power brake booster and making up an "adapter" to mount the master cylinder in the stock location and not have to mount it under the windshield. I haven't changed the pedal ratio yet as I want to give it a try as it is first. The power assist was really giving me issues when I was staging the car. It didn't seem to bother Doug though. Hmmm.
The next step when I can find some "me-time" will be getting going on a header. I sure would like to find out why I can't post pictures on here anymore. It never used to be a problem...

Re: Not for Nuthin' But Close!
I got an update from Mr. Billy the other day with news that the header is done. He was unable to upload the pictures, so he sent them to me to see if I could get them uploaded, so here they are. Couple miscellaneous pictures of the car in here as well.

35" and that's not the collector that I'll be using.
