Ok so im about to buy the Stage 1 but there is a few things i dont know. 1- should i remove torque management? 2- should I get the belt or tensioner pulley?3-what should i set redline to 7000,7200,7400?4- should i keep stock TB or go with the LS4 TB upgrade?

 

1.) yes
2.) Gm stage belt FTW
3.)7000
4.) you can keep the stock TB but it would never hurt upgrading

 

^x2 and just keep the stock TB except if u have extra money to waste.. u dont need to upgrade though

 

sweet thanks, do you have the kit?

 

and i was wonderin the same thing for when i order.. what exactly is torque management... and what happens whenu remove it?

 

I'm personally gonna have wicked toon mine and get the limiter set at 7200 so when i go to shift at 7k i don't bounce on the limiter. I'll never take it past 7 k tho. agreed with fzn14, upgrades don't hurt, but not necessary and gm stg 2 belt will work perfectly.

 

ordering mine next friday

 

I personally have the kit and have had it for about 7-8k now. Thus that being said...My stock times for the track are....14.2...With OTT stage one, catless DP, TTR tranny mounts, And the canned tune they send you...13.8 LOL

 

really only .4 s i thought you get a lot more power from it...how much horse power and psi do you run with it

 

Track times are a tricky subject really. You could have different temps, different DA, different prep. Lots of things effect the outcome that being said i have seen people run 13.4 on our kit well some run 14.4, it all comes down to the driver.

 

so whats the power look like from stock to stage 1 about how much does the HP and psi change?

 

well for its being 90 degrees and being in MO i thought it was a good time...I was on the stock tires as well if that makes any huge difference lol, Either way i couldnt be happyer with my kit, And its cool cause every other mod i add like I/E/DP etc etc my car keeps coming more and more alive

 

Bone stock your around 205~210 whp 12.5 psi

OTT stage 1 your around 245~250 whp 17.5 psi

 

nobody answered that doods question about what torque management. i know what it is but i cant explain **** right i always leave **** out

 

The second post answered the question about removing the torque managment... which you should remove...

i would use a 7250 redline anyway.

 

Tq management is just the computers way of limiting power before after shifts slightly.

 

just ordered it, F**k i cant wait.
