Glad to see you have experience with Vince at Trifecta. From what I've been reading they do wonderful work at Trifecta
That was a very mighty HHR SS you had! Do you have any pictures of it? How was it to drive? I've never driven a FWD car with that much hp!

I added some pictures in my garage of both the HHR SS I had and the new Regal I have.
Believe it or not the torque steer wasn't really that bad after adding a billet front rotated mount for the engine.
I basically had the whole HHR SS modded without even having to crack the engine open, the power made was pretty impressive if you ask me for bolt ons and tuning.
I got everything off the HHR SS before trade in except for the IC, HHR fall edition headlights (GM black chrome headlights) and my LED tail lights. I had already sold all those parts.
I now have Vince's newest tune on the Regal which is even more aggressive then the tune he dyno'd at 262 whp 284 wtq on a bone stock LHU engine.
My parts started arriving yesterday to swap the tiny UICP and LICP in the Regal.
I will have my DP (down pipe) made in September, an aftermarket catless DP (with rear O2 turned off) on the LNF was good for 20 whp by itself.
My ultimate goal is 350 whp on the Regal with the BNR 2871GT. I will add an upgraded IC, MAF relocate (had this on my HHR SS) and UICP with BOV (had this on my HHR SS also).
Yes I know the Regal is not going to be as fast as say a Camaro SS or any of the LNF cars, but I can still make it into a fun luxury sedan.

I owned one of those also a 1985 hot air model (yeah I know it wasn't fast but only 2200 85's were built). I rebuilt the engine in it put a stage 1 upgrade turbo and had the trans rebuilt. The inside and out looked like it came off the show room floor, I ended up selling it to my dad as it was more of a show car then a DD.
At that time I had no where to store it so it moved to PA, then my brother bought it off my dad and my brother traded it for a truck
