RedBaseBolt

Not on a 2.2L. only 2.4L and 2.0L

You're SOL , sorry.

You can't until tuning software is available. I would go to 6850 to be safe, unless you up the valve train

Actually, the valve train on the LSJ and L61 are identical except for the sodium filled exhaust valves. And thats just for heat, not RPM's. You can spin a stock L61 to 7000 without issues.

But the above posts are correct about tuning. It's just not available yet.

can you really? I thought we were at our limit as far as the valvetrain goes already

so I could get a set of cams & up the limiter to 7K without a valvetrain upgrade huh...

even better, less money spent...

My question is, is that extra 500 RPM's really gonna do much power wise for the 2.2?

I have one, and even at the 6500 red-line, it doesn't pull anything at that high of
an RPM range.

If someone could answer this that would be great cuz I would like to know.

Thanks guys.

IonNinja

stock no it wont do **** for you...you don't even make power all the way to 6500 so upping it to 7K would just slow you down.

Its pointless without a set of cams to shift your powerband upward...

AZCobalt19

Ok yeah that's what I thought because why would you want to bump it up when
your merely stock on with maybe a few bolt-ons.

Thanks for the feedback Ion.

With that kind of RPM I would think that the entire exhaust system would have to be changed to and SS/SC system or better. There wouldn't be enough flow in the stock manifold cat and downpipe to justify it. Anyone else have an opinion on that, I just don't think the motor could breathe and probably float a valve.
