Don't forget that the L-61 in the Cavalier and the one used in the majority of 2.2 equipped HHR's is a different beast. Changes for the 2007+ model years include but aren't limited to......
Gen II Engine Block
Cylinder Head Improvements
New Camshaft Design
E37 Engine Control Module
58X Crankshaft Reluctor Ring
Digital Crank and Cam Sensors
Vented Starter Solenoid
New MAP Sensor
New Intake Manifold Seals
New Oil Filter Element

Nope, the LAP is another variation of the 2.2 Ecotec, it superseded the L-61. HHR's use the earlier L-61 for the 2006 model year, then for 2007 the change was made to the Gen II L-61.
The LAP 2.2 was phased in for the 2009 model year and continued on through the end of production.

843de this actually mentions the change in 2.2 you are talking about.
turbo hearse just wondering if they may have an answer via email being they like to mess around with ecotecs.

On l61/lap likely not. I did on my LE5. If you are looking for info on install/tuning for l61 check on the ecotec and jbody forums. I know there are several Cavalier guys that did it on l61...but if you have lap...then it makes things a bit more interesting...le5/lap heads are apparently the same?...though not sure on cam interchange...if they are then le5 stock/after market cams could work, but there is a thread on the cobalt forum of a lap guy that tried le5s and fubared his engine, but consensus is the install effed up the timing.
Thanks
