I know it has probably been talked about many times but I can't find a thread on either of these. I'm looking to purchase one or the other.

Anyone have any information or thoughts on which one is better/faster/problems?

Dont see a CA (Cobalt-addiction) dyno run but see intenses.

CA PACKAGE $559
Stage #3 : 2.7 ZZP Interchangeable Pulley system , 1 step colder ngk IRIDIUM spark plugs , GM shortened belt , 42# Lucas Injectors , Injector Wiring Harness, Stage #3 Retune ... Est. 65 Hp over stock - 18 psi boost


INTENSE PACKAGE $529
This package has been DYNO PROVEN to produce 15 psi boost and up to 255 WHP and 245 WTQ.

Please check out our installation pricing regarding our stage kits and other LSJ items.
LSJ-IMH-090 - INTENSE™ LSJ Modular Pulley System
LSJ-IMP-290 - INTENSE™ 2.90" pulley
LSJ-STP-630 - Oversized Supercharger Tensioner Pulley
LSJ-ASP-3922 - Autolite® Copper Core Spark Plugs (recommended gap = .040")
LSJ-FIS-425-4 - Lucas 42.5 pound/hour Fuel Injectors
LSJ-CIH-105155 - Casper's LSJ Injector Wiring Harness
INTENSE™ Stage 3 LSJ PCM

 

I wouldn't go buying neither these kits unless they show a log file. I've seen 2.9" pulley hit 120% duty on 42lb's in cold weather.

There is also the TAG stage kits which both come with 60lb injectors.

 

Yes, TAG is a little more expensive but I think there kit is wel worth the money.

 

TAG's price is right up there with those:

1. 2.86" Modular Pulley System (Colors: Red, Black, Silver, Gun Metal Gray)
2. 60 lb/hr injectors + harness
3. GM Stage 2 belt.
4. Set of four NGK BKR7E spark plugs.
5. TAG Stage 1 tune*

$550

 

after buying intense stage 3, I wish i would have waited for the TAG kit. I need 60lbs injectors for the 2.7 pulley im getting

 

Links?

 

That's because someone didn't let it know it was running larger injectors and instead just play with the MAF. It still thinks it had the stock ones in there, which would probably be running at that duty cycle under that kind of boost/airflow.

You want my personal opinion? Go with Intense. They will net you the most useable power and will do pretty much ANYTHING you ask in terms of playing with the PCM. I understand some people on here all have their own opinions about everything, but look at it this way:

Intense Stage 3 runs on average 255whp, which according to the last couple dynos I have seen from the LSJ nets you about 70whp more than stock while only on a 2.9" pulley. CA is running a 2.7" pulley, which is about 2-3 psi more and a lot faster inside the blower, while still only making about the same whp. Tell me which one makes more sense: Having more heat spitting out of your blower from the CA kit or having a longer lasting, much happier blower with the same power level from Intense?

 

check out my dyno thread... made 296 whp and 271 wtq with the stg VI... I have stg III on right now supposed to dyno on the 6th... I"ll post up

 

oh yeah and CA stg III is going to be coming with 60lbers they just didn't change it on the website yet

 

and if you need any logfiles... email me... I have em for each stg kit

 

Just make your own kit! You can buy the parts individually for less than $300, then spend the other $250 and have local shop dyno tune you

 

hey blown 4 bangers got a point. i have intense stage 4 while its a good kit and all im sure i could have saved money. also if you are looking at kits i would honestly go with tag they are making some great stuff. they will also retuen after you get some run logs on your car. or you can go all out and do the Tag twin screw swap like myself. oh and blown 4 banger nice little secret message in your sig i dont know what provoked me to highlight it but i did.

 

Yeah, he got a kick out of it too

 

no, it was 2.9" on a stage tune with 42lb injectors. There was no tuning done of any sort.

As for what companys say about how much power they make...I've seen people make 260HP with a 2.85" pulley and some make 230HP with the exacty setup. As said before, different dyno's show different power.

All I can say is I will be running 12's with my TAG Stage 2, once I have my Bully clutch installed.
