Ok. Finally got it working and wow am I stoked. I struggled for about 5 hours trying to transfer the installation from my Probook with the i5-2430m to the i7-2720qm. No luck. I changed my SSDTs, DSDTs, and some kexts and still no luck. I even did a reinstall three times with 10.7.4 and the patched kexts and everytime I get the AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement kernel panic.
I tried a different route. Clean install 10.7.0 (Restart) --> 10.7.3 Combo Update -->Probook 3.3.0 Installer (selecting 10.7.3 version, F09 BIOS w/o Discrete, and Tools) --> Multibeast 4.5.2 (selecting i7 SSDT and System Utilities) --> Changed SMBIOS to 8,2 --> Edited org.chameleon.boot.plist to remove GenereateC/PStates and add DropSSDT=Yes (Restart) --> Installed FanApp and various other applications.
Running super smooth. Average Geekbench 2.2 for MacBookPro 8,2 with i7-2720qm is around 9700. Added 16 GB DDR3-1333 RAM along with my 256GB Crucial C300 SSD and I am getting:

Keep in mind that I am doing a time machine backup and massive file transfer to get backed up. I was getting in the 9700 range. Check out my scores from Geekbench's website. Profile Inmike02.
Definitely worth the upgrade. I even have a real USB 3.0 blue port which I never had.
