yes 170 with a tune. tops. the 2.4 throttle body will gain you maybe 1hp if any.
the lap has a different manifold than the 2.4, but supposedly flows the same as a 2.4. and im talking 07 and before 2.4

the ecotecs dont respond to intake mods that well.I thought the 2.4 mani and intake made a huge difference especially with the tune.I went to the track and couldnt even come close to my best time pre tune manifold and intake(NA).I think its a psychological thing where you think its WAAAYYYY faster but its really not a huge difference.That was my case anyway.It was way slower to be honest.so one went the blower
hmm, thats news to me. ive heard of laps putting them on and gaining noticeable power, and they can use them without tunes so they would know better than me. i dont know how much was the tb and how much was the tune

its probably because you lost a **** ton of low end through the curve. you lose launch/60'initial power, but make it up after. thats probably why your times were the similar. were your traps any higher?
traps were the same and times were slower.Even from rolls I wasn't impressed I felt little to no power gain.All I got was sound lmao.Boost took care of that though.NA on these motors is just a waste.They don't respond to bolt on's like honda's do with bolt on's and tunes
jk
but seriously
yea.. idk if met with plenty of guys that swear by the 2.4 Intake stuff.. many of which had some of the fastest n/a times on other ecotec forums.. ill just listen to them lol
