Mine is a Fastman and is great quality. Trucky's is a F&B and it was good to go as well.

lol.....i'm sure yours will be great! if it ain't doing it now, it wont. I'm looking at the Hi-Potek one now. and then getting the trans tuning for the superchips so I can keep it shifting like it does now w/o the tb.

Mods: K&N fipk, HHR fan, Straight pipe (no muffler or resos), superchips, usless "power wire", and soon to have h/o cams. And maby headers and hi flow cats but thats after the cams

Do you have some nice pics of the HHR fan mounted on the rad? I know some guys have posted pictures, but not a overall pic from like the hood hinge looking at the rad, etc. This is my next investment!

I can tell you this much, the SC tuner is a huge improvement! The truck came to life with the TB even under stock tune, but it was def stock slow shifting, but not unexpected. I am currently running stock still just to give the computer ample time to relearn the base parameters before I tune. I'll keep ya guys updated on what I find if de-tuning to stock before installing is the answer.

The shift issue really isnt an "issue" .... just a preference. Kent just got spoiled with the SC shift points

and since the fastman required less throttle, the truck shifted lower. I actually liked not having the truck shift so high since so I didnt disturb my neighbors when coming home late or leaving early. All it took was a little more throttle and the truck was just like it used to be. Youll notice the low shifting under normal driving.
