how much hp can a lap hold ive been seeing 250 hp around but that seem a lil low to me. im thinking about turboing my lap

 

250 hp was the L61. I believe I have heard the LAP can hold a little more, but not sure on that or the number we can get to. Ask the turbo/super guys, they will have a better answer.

 

im an L61 but i have the GenII block. It held more than 250......However you are playing with fire, eventually you are going to get burned. Just do it right or dont do it. I tested the internals to the limit and the bar isnt much higher than 250.

 

Every car is different. Depends on your tune, driving style, and car.

People take them way past 250 HP (people are doing 250+ Whp). They only say 250 HP because GM did a nitrous stress test. Boost will be easier and more gradual than nitrous.

 

alright not sure if i wana boost it now mainly cuz its my dd but my build was going ot be a tdo4 or 05 turbo, intercooled and i would have wideband and a mini afc from zzp for tuning

i dont wana build the whole motor at this point in time cuz im already building a 93 bonneville that im doing the whole 9 yards 2

 

well you can do a conservative tune

 

how about this what if i did that same setup but ran e85 with maybe meth injetion i know it will keep detonation to a min so i should in theory be able to push more power

 

i would think E85 would be a bit easier on the engine

 

Ya and if I did meth injection also it would run even cooler

 

Hp rating should be the same as the L61, 250 hp. That's talking crank horsepower but like nhanson said people have pushed it to 250 whp. As far as I know the LAP uses mostly the same internal engine parts as the L61 except for the cylinder head (because the LAP has VVT). stenguyen1 is the only one i've seen that blew his motor and he was pushing like 260 whp on an m62

 

my motor like i said lasted at 300+whp on E85 for 4 or 5 months.

 

What if I were to slap in an LNF turbo, intercooler, charge pipes etc. w/o GM stage 2 but with Trifecta on my LAP. Will that be less then 250hp? I know the HHR 2.0 LNF automatic version has 235hp stock not sure if that helps.

 

im looking to do something similar, but no boost. i just wanna make n/a power. hellacious tune, bolt ons, ect. i also am curious if the 2.2's head is interchangable with the 2.4. ive heard the 2.4 makes more power anyway... anyone know?

 

2.4 head is same part number as the LAPs but i think has different cams
