Yah there is definatley a noticable increase in power and the extra 500rpms make a hell of a difference.

I went with GM stage 2 and love it. Best part is if I brake something I dont have to worry about it. Gm will fix it as long as its not my fault.

Later.

GM is the only kit that is smog legal. If you read through the Inetnse website, They state that their kits are intended for OFF ROAD USE ONLY. So how are the guys who need to Smog Check (CA) going to do it? Take out the PCM (Flash it back to stock) Replace everything else almost back to stock? This was the issue I was concerned with. Besides, doesn't the Cobalt that dynoed 275WHP also has a Corsa Exhaust and Lightweight flywheel? So it's not actually 275 unless you guys have the same set up.

GM Stage 2! Basically I'm FUCT if I break something serious thats not under warentee. Plus I rode in a car with stage 2 and stock intake and exhaust and the thing flies! So mine with stage 2, some colder spark plugs, and intake and exhaust should be super sonic

My point too!!! I want the warrenty because I've leased my car. I get to write off the car for taxes because I am self employed......and..............I get to have some fun too!!!!!!!!!

Now let me ask, will Intense warranty anything when the engine blows up due to their kit like GM would? ........................ that's what I thought, going with GM parts.
