Bill, it's says that the rev limiter is also raised by 200 RPM to 6500 RPM. Is this true for all applications?

Yes that is correct. The rev limiter is raised 200 RPM for all the GM kits.

Got mine today and am scheduled to get it installed tomorrow. I was told by my dealer's service department that if the recommended install time is one hour they will charge for one hour regardless of how long it takes. This will be the first one they install and a bonus for me is that I will be getting a rental during the install since I will be having some warranty stuff done at the same time. Also, my dealership has a rewards program for service done and I have about 40 bucks on that card and I will get my employee discount of 15% off labor so it won't really cost me too much to get it done. Stay tuned for updates tomorrow evening or Friday morning.

Its that same cant wait feeling I had when I was waiting for my SS delivery date.

Mine is in the shop right now getting the kit installed. This also the first one they have done so I have my finger crossed they get it right. I reviewed the instructions and it seemed simple enough but you never know.

I don't have access to a dyno but I will keep everyone posted as to how the car feels after I take it out for a ride. I have about an hour to drive so I should get a good sense of it.

GM finally sends a message to all dealers on the kit. I know it has been stated that the GM list price has gone from $650 to $750, but this message contradicts that.

GM Performance Parts is pleased to announce the release of the LNF Turbo upgrade kits for the Pontiac Solstice GXP, Saturn Sky Redline and the Chevrolet HHR SS. This kit has been designed to be a complete bolt on kit. Its unique calibration will increase the performance to 290 HP without changing the drivability or reliability of the product.

Immediately

Normal Ordering Process

GENERAL INFORMATION:

§ PT #19212670

§ This is a Line 32Z part and will be available through the ADI network. A separate ADI bulletin is also being released.
