i have 2007 gxp  has any one up graded with the gm  lnf kit? if you did is it worth the money.

I did...bought the kit from crate engines online...had Ed Morse Chevrolet install it. The labor charge was 165 dollars and took about 2 hours to do. I noticed a substantial accelleration improvement, and to my surprise I am now averaging 23 mpg in the city as opposed to 21 that I was achieving before the installation. I feel that it is worth the money!

thanks that will be on christmas  list. any mufflers that give alittle boost but not loud? any suggestions on performence im all ears lol

Here's my setup:

GM Stage2 kit
Dejon Solid IC pipes
RPI intercooler
RPI GT exhaust

The intercooler pipes were the first mod and mostly just helped keep the boost consistent

Exhaust was second, no real performance gain by themselves but they are fairly quiet for everyday cruising around town, i.e. it won't piss off your neighbors
At light throttle they have a nice throaty growl, but at WOT they sound REALLY good

The stage 2 kit was next and this really started to change the envelope, boost up to 23PSI much improved acceleration and unlike some other tunes I'd tried performance is consistent in all gears

The intercooler was the cherry on top that brought the whole system together and really made things sing.

I now see 0-60 times in the mid 4's and I can jump from 80-100 in about 3.5-4 seconds, on twisties i actually have to be careful now powering out of a tight turn that I don't break the back end loose

overall the system runs like i think it should have to begin with, very very nice overall package now

I've never had an issue bringing mine back under control with stock brakes.  Been down from 146 to 75 PDQ when I saw a suspicious white sedan in the distance

Same here, but I was only up to 115.

Maybe your brakes need a lookin' at instead of upgrading them. Maybe you got a little air or water in the lines

You're welcome.
