I will say though

don't even think about beating on a new engine...let it break in. I know they say there is no break in, but you really should take it easy for like 3000 miles. after that the bearings and piston rings are worn in and will work better. you'll get better fuel milage after that period too.

First mod, remove plastic chit from engine so you can SEE said engine. 2nd mod, supercharge that G5 and make about 220hp.

Oh wait, you don't own it yet, NM!

Something to be said for buying a car cash if you are into modding cars like a few others on this board, including me.

Im definitely not gonna mess with it, because if it runs fine the way its supposed to i dont wanna screw it up.

Lol. I can see 3rd gen as a kid

Mom: WHY CAN'T YOU JUST LEAVE THE TOASTER ALONE!!
3rd: BECAUSE IM SICK OF WAITING 45 SECONDS FOR TOAST, SO I MODDED IT TO MAKE IT in 3 SECONDS

Also the engine cover does come right off. If you want to remove *shrug* remove oil cap. Pull engine cover off. it has like 2/3 rubber grommits that snap onto some things.

Im not messin with it at all

AEM makes a sweet intake. Drove an 03 Ecotec Cavalier today. Sounds kinda tough for a 4 banger, Lol
