stage 1 for 2009 Chevy Cobalt SS

I know this topic has been run into the ground, but I would like to hear back from anyone who has had GM's stage 1 installed in the SS w/ the LNF motor.

I would also like to hear back from anyone who has some actual knowledge on the status of the upgrade. Not just one of those googler's who go off what they read in another forum or from a random link they found online.

okay you are beating a dead horse.

I have the parts ordered, but the tune isn't ready for a month or two so it is useless at this point.

No one has the stage kit yet.

I, too, have the parts ordered -- and I have no idea when the flash will be ready.

I'm sure the flash will be ready..., some day..., in the future..., whenever CARB gets done..., later than today..., some other month..., if it doesn't rain..., eventually...

I just ordered the stage two kit that comes with the smaller pulley and the fuel injectors. I dunno where to put the pulley though on an LNF... Does it replace the A/C pump pulley? does it make the A/C cool you down quicker? I dunno Im confused. I think I may have ordered the wrong thing..

I hope he isn't. :/

Anyway, is there a difference if I were to order it from Crate or the dealer?

ok update:

I just got the stage 2 kit in today!
Im very very excited!, it does appear that the pulley is a direct replacement for the A/C pump pulley! However, the belt they sent was too small, so I ordered another stage 2 belt from them and wrote them an e-mail. My car is currently up at the local Chevy dealer and they said they are able to get this stage 2 kit in my cobalt. Sweeet! wierd thing is the kit only brings the hp level to 260-265? I hope they meant whp, cause I have that at the crank already.

$110.00 is the difference

i ordered my stage kit through my dealer to get my dealer discount and i can tell you crate is even cheaper them my dealer price on the kit. but when i went to pick it up the dealer told me the kit was only for the hhr and soltice? they said there's no part number released for the cobalt... i think they don't know what there talking about

The physical parts are the same part #. It's the tune that doesn't have a number yet.
