It fits vehicles powered by the LNF 2.0L turbocharged engine, including the Cobalt SS, HHR SS, the Pontiac Solstice GXP and Saturn Sky Red Line.

So 290hp but 340lbft of torque but it's also lighter than a 5th GEN V6 Camaro. That would be a fun one to watch at a drag strip.

Like I said, it's a little sleeper. I think GM missed the boat of not running with the HHR SS by making it more of a Subaru killer by giving it AWD and a little more power.
The guy that helped me with the Sky had this system on his HHR SS. He loved it.

That being said, I had an HHR SS right before I picked up Number 3 in December 08. It would easily overpower the front tires and I imagine with the GMPP upgrade it would literally smoke them off the rims. The one I had was a manual.

Also, the Delta architecture (Cobalt, HHR) was not designed to be AWD, even though I would have to have seen that as well. Would have made for an interesting package for sure.
