Goodbye L61 Hello LAP
 
well i just traded in my 2007 L61 for a 2009 LAP... good news is all bolt ons will transfer. Kinda excited to see what this VVT will do! Only reason i did it was because i got a wicked good deal on it! Now i Just have to learn this car!

It is certainly a fun car. Enjoy your mods.

jbenso4 08-24-2009 09:57 PM

hope to supercharge eventully

Gene Culley 08-24-2009 10:03 PM

That is the reason I supercharged. This LAP and any other non supercharged just doesn't have enough highway pickup for me. It was totally worth the money for me and is totally a different car now.

Nice to see another member in this section, its far too quite.

I'm @ a crossroads with mine, not sure if I want to bother modding it since it is an auto.

havent had an issue. the 4t45 is rated for 325ft-lbs of torque.... so i have a ways to go before i even need to consider upgrading it. Even then though, you know GM gave it a pretty decent safety margin. Celicacobalt daily drove his 425ft-lb stock tranny car for 11 months before it finally gave out. I dont plan on having torque numbers quite that high

nt really from any one specific source, but ive come to know a pretty decent amount about what the stock motor/tranny can take, how to build it, etc. Ive just been doing a lot of reading on here (putting more focus into what high power enthusiasts (ie paul, area, or people like maven that have a GM tech background) and vendors recommend) in the last 3 years ive been here. All the vendors are pretty helpful and knowledgeable. Hell, ive been talking to Karo lately about his recommendations for piston CR on my future build

hmmm nice

I am at 3000, but I upgraded to the LSJ header and downpipe and I powerdercoated the supercharger and got a new valve cover and powdercoated it, etc.
