So cheaper Stage 2's on the way?

With the advent of the LNF Turbo Balt will the stage two package from Gm be lowered?
What are your thoughts on this.

I don't know, but that's why I got mine now.

Seeing that GM warranties the part if installed by the dealer, you would think that they would at least keep some of that stuff in stock down the road.

I mean, what if in 4 or 5 years I need to replace my St. 2 injectors? I would hope that GM would still have them to sell, otherwise I'll have to go after market ...

iirc, the auto makers must continue to have stock on parts for 10 years after the production date of the vehicle. so basicly, they will have to have parts for an 05 still avalibe in 2015. however im not sure how the stage kits fit into this, as they are a gm performance part, not oe parts. either way, the injectors shouldnt be a big deal to replace, and there are plenty of people making aftermarket pully kits, and im sure the belts will be avalible in the aftermarket. the only thing really you need from gm would be the reflash (if you needed a new computer).
