Man HMS wanted 2500 to do my car out the door. I dont have that $$$ RIGHT now and the tranny was pretty much done. The ecotec motor is stronger than the SVT motor with boost and has at least 3 kits out there for under 3k. With Getrag(?) tranny I wont have the problems I had with my SVT tranny. They gave me 5,500 with the tranny going bye-bye. IT had all the below mods with 85k on it. I am sorry to see it go but you have to see from my point of view. A college student, cheaper insurance, 87 gas instead of 93or 94, 60k warranty. I couldnt pass it up. I've been putting it off trading the SVT in but I just couldnt find anyone to help me with the clutch install and it was just to big of a job alone. Its a Mike Castrucci Chevy on Rt.50 in milford, Ohio. Check out jbody.org before you start killing my little ecotec. Like I said before base ecotec to stock SVT I was beaten. Their 60' times will kill any SVT. My best was a 2.3 and that still only netted a 15.5. Gotta go with the lighter car.
