Remember, the Ecotec is "capable" of a lot more than 260HP. This is a relatively new engine. So initial tuning will be conservative. We have a 5/100K on the engine. The engineers have looked at the Ecotec (and all the other drive pieces) and determined that they can withstand 290 HP and still maintain longevity. 30 extra HP, backed by GM's 5/100 for under $1K.....I think it's a good deal.

GM is in this to MAKE MONEY. Of course, they also want to satisfy us customers....but that goes hand in hand with making money. And I hope they make plenty of money. Because a healthy GM is good for us...and our future with our Kappas.
