The engineer states on that link that any modifications after this kit will see gains as the calibration for this kit turns off that production calibration feature...

It makes sense for people that don't know how or don't want to deal w/ dealerships about warranty issues.

I know my brother who's 30 isn't as into cars as I am but likes having a quick DD is interested in the Stage kit since I already talked him into buying the 09 he picked up a few months back...

If you get the kit and then also tune it then you will see even MORE gains, just like people now with tunes, they are seeing higher #s then this kit

I'm thinking the GM stage kit likely includes an ECM flash. Can anyone confirm if there is a new GM tune included with the kit?
