Hrrrmmm...

I asked Kent if they made cams for the E-Tec II (as in Aveo). They answered no. Ironically, most everyone else I speak to thinks yes the 16v Opel cams would work in the E-Tec II. All this cross-branding is messing up a rather decent build up. Chances are they are all the same head. Only one way to f...

Any ground is only as good as its connection to the negative battery post, the engine block and the body of the vehicle. Clean all contact points to shiny bare meta...

I saw gains on my Aveo only after removing the first muffler and resonator from the exhaust. I replaced those with a glasspack (old school Cherry Bomb) and just ran a pipe straight back from there. I'd say I got a 5HP gain, but my car is about 95dB now. It's very loud, but I just drown it out with m...
