2.8 = Driveability Issues

I was just wondering if adding the 2.8 to a Stage 2 equipped SS causes any issues.

I remember a few people mentioning hicups at anything less than WOT, is this true?

I know you didn't just tell CodySS what spark plugs to get, he is the king of cobalt spark plugs!

It means you should not directly address him unless spoken to.

Hey now just because I tried everything except the new Zex plugs doesn't mean I won't take advice.

In normal Stage 2 form my car just likes the stock NGK's

I had driveability issues just with stage 2 pulley, alone, didn't really make any noticable difference to me with the 2.8" on (except the extra power in the top end, of course). I've gone from recommending the stage 2 kit to recommending people buy the parts seperate with a custom tune instead. The stage 2 tune appears to have been the source of my problems all along.

Yeah no real problems for me...Your car might seem different and hesitant in accelaration for like 300 miles but after that the ECU will learn the mods. No Joke. Now it runs great.
