Autos dont need rotated mounts. The stock mounts were designed with autos in them and that's why the manuals get wheel hop.

You'd need a custom downpipe. But yes it will fit.

Send me an offer. I would consider selling them since i want a different car anyway. They have only been used for 5 months and like 3000k miles. Basically brand new and I take the wheels off to lube them and clean them every month or so.

The l61 really benefit from a good port and polish job. I went ahead and replaced the stock valves as well, prob not necessary, but wanted ir all done at once. Just a warning if you go with supertech, a little machinung needs to be done to get the Ti retainers in.

GM tested the L61 on nitrous and it snapped a rod @ 250.Nitrous is super harsh on internals.you can go a bit higher.Tune is also gonna play a big role in this as well.If you have a well dialed in tune,it'll last longer.

good luck on cams.Your a LAP,which I dont think there are available cams for that motor unless you can use LNF cams.They dont even make cams for my motor(2007 L61).

Anybody know the part number for ngk copper 1 step colder plugs that are 25mm reach with taper seat?
