Hi,
I agree. I would NOT trust carfax. My cars as well had "things" done
that would never ever show up in carfax.

BTW, the compression ratio on the supercharged Ecotec in the Ion RL was only
reduced from 10:1 to 9.5:1. I don't think they used forged pistons either..

The only thing I could find was "pistons: high strength aluminum". What
ever that means. Either way compresson has to come down from stock. The
lower it is (to a point) the more air and fuel you can pack in with a
charger. (4 bangers always been higher on compression to start with so
9.5 would make since)

Hello Ed,

Not to rain on your parade, but don't you think you should pay for
your
own CARFAX query? Last time I used them, they offered a one vehicle
search for $20 and an unlimited vehicle search for one month for
$25.
You would also get the Carfax guarantee if YOU did the search. IMHO,
you
should spend your own cash, or if someone on the Usenet wants to
help,
send him an Omaha Steak or something for his trouble. Those
professional
subscriptions don't come cheap. A lot like bringing your groceries
to
the restaurant and telling the chef to cook them for you.

This is not at all uncommon on Usenet. People who by a 1-month will
frequently run a few VIN's for others.

Just wondering, but why did you do this as a reply to an unrelated
posting, rather than as an OP with a fresh subject line?

Just a screw up. I am not even sure how it ended up the way
it did. I thought (i emphasize "thought") I did start it as
a new thread.

It's a new thread on Free Agent; no "Re:".

Any comments on either the electronic superchargers being advertised on the
net or the resistor that tricks the car into thinking it is colder outside?

Electric superchargers aren't capable of supplying a lot of boost (generally
only 1-2 psi vs. 10-15 psi for belt driven) due to losses in converting
mechanical energy to electrical energy and then back again.

And unless the car's alternator & battery are upgraded significantly, plan on
replacing them both frequently. An electric motor capable of boosting intake
manifold pressure to positive levels at high rpm draws a lot of current the
stock alternator can't supply.
