Ijust need some info on the stage 1 and 2 upgrades. Like is it that much faster and worth the 500 or 750 you pay for it. Any info will help please. For instance say the 0-60 is avg like 6.2 depending on ur alltitude, what is it after the stage 2 kit. Thanx

 

this is how i will explain it... i got stage 1 first because i didint have enough at the time
I already had intake, exhuast, and header but now i got a 7K redline
I felt more power and all mabe because my engine was getting fueled properly! and the 7 k felt pretty good.... But then i got stage 2 right out of the dealer i felt what humans call "love" j/k anyways you knwo how you floor it and you passenger goes flying into the seat? when that happens even worse now but the driver feels this also!

then i added the 2.8 pulley to stage 2 hub and now im running 13.6's and beating evos from rolls
my 0-60 should be in mid 5's

 

its worth it for two main reasons

1 yea that might seem like a lot of money but its one of the first things people do when they start moddding keeps warranty

2 when you leave the stealership after you have it done with 500 more redline and the new feel of it leaves a big grin on your face kindof like when you just got the car yea its worth it

 

Stage 2 was a large improvement over stock and is a bargain for $650.

 

Alright, thats what i needed to know thank you

 

id like to get stage kits...but what i was wondering is...with stage 1...do you get better or worse gas mileage and then again with stage 2 and so on

 

I dont understand how it could improve gas mileage...Think about what it is doing.

 

My MPG was unchanged by Stage 2, it will how ever use more gas if you drive it like a mad man

 

My mileage DID go up.Almost another 2 mpg.

 

can't really post first hand experience with the stage kits at the moment, since its residing in my trunk.... (Stage 1)

I got a mps from Intense, and put a 2.9" pulley on there. Also got their belt tensioner, and swapped to the BK7REs gapped to .35 Car definately has a lot more torque, supercharger whines at anything over 11psi. 1st gear seems pretty useless if you boost it high, you just roast the tires. 2nd gear has the same results if you contine your spin from first....heh

Stage 1 will go on before the months end. Im going to install it, dealer will do the reflash. Not sure who quoted you the $500 for stage 1, but thats steep. I could get you stage 1, and a mps from zzp or intense, and have it to you for $550-$575

This is probably about as far as Im going to take the car, come spring its getting upgraded to a Goat, or something...

 

Damn if your for real it would be cool if you could somehow....................upgraded to a goat??????

 

Goat is hat a GTO is called

 

yea, Goat=GTO. I miss RWD. The GTO isn't exactly my first choice for appearance, but at this point I don't want to wait for a new Camaro or Challanger. 04 or 05 GTO with an STS turbo system should be more than sufficent, and not that costly either...

I can get you GM stage 1, shipped to your door for $390. Possibly Stage 2 for $495-500 shipped to your door.

if thats the truth for stage 2 ill be pm'ing you in mid october to get it
