I was just reminding you mkrule, since every other post you make is telling people to use the search. Just make sure you get an SS and not the sport, because remember they're different.

....you mean an ss 2.4 vs a sport 2.4? or are you saying he needs to get an LSJ/LNF?

Mike you just can't detect sarcasm, I told him the two 2.4's were different because he was trying to call my 08 sport an ls a while back.

Also, I've made a few other useful posts if I may add. But then again even if I haven't, I've never said or done anything to you, so you can go take it on the chin.

the 2.2 can do 250bhp easily dude.... that's what everything's rated for. Its when you pass 300 that you should be breaking up. Im at 265 myself

when you put another member down for not knowing alot about cars, thats when you loose my respect.

hunter congrats and i seriously hope your engine stays running for a long while, i know from experience its a shitty feeling having to get something like that fixed

never once called your sport a LS fail yet again. I belive i said "you are a ricer, you have a sport not a SS, Does this mean i can put SS badges on the 09 LT2's since they have the same body kit/power?"

Why are you in this thread.. havent you have enough being a troll?

BTW no hate towards ya. Its a forum get over it!

lulz.. on a good tune the 2.4's can handle over 350 whp no problem good tune is the key

boosted g5 blew his and he suspected it was about 320 whp at the time but he was also going 150 mph ... that tends to be out of normal tuning range

The 09 lt2 doesn't have the same power as my car...therefore yes, that would be ricerish

The sport and SS/NA are both the LE5...

yeah...

Mkurley again, saying my car is somehow the same power as an lt, I literally don't get how he doesn't get it after so long

That's strange that it would have the same power too, since they stopped making that engine in 08...

I'm guessing your talking about the 2.2L engine right. Cause they are still making the LE5. The 2.2L engine under went some changes: it received VVT and a slight boost in HP at the cost of losing some TQ. Also they renamed it the LAP.
