Just to share my experience now...I just got back from where I bought my car and tried to order stage 2. I gave him all 3 part numbers and stage 1 is available and can be purchased just like any other part and it's the same way for stage 1 to 2 BUT stage 2 still says ship direct. He was as baffled as I was about how can 2 parts which when put together equal stage 2 could be available but not the actual stage 2 is. So he contacted GMPP right then and sound all shocked and said proceded to do some more mmmm hmmmms as I axiously waited for him to get off. When he finally did , he says here's the deal stage 2 IS available but the order has to be called in. GM is doing some kind of trial with the stage 2 and only a very limited quantity will be made initially. They are doing a pre-order so to speak and when they reach whatever they will initially plan to sell, they will ship them out. He guessed it was some test to determine it's popularity to help them determine how many to make on a regular basis. He also said nationwide, there are only 10 orders for stage 2 actually in. I told him about cobaltss.net and about the stage kits popularity and said there's got to be way more orders than that but he said definately it was 10 orders NATIONWIDE. Either way I'm #11 now,(in Peter Griffin's voice) and now we play the waiting game...

My dealer just called me and said he called GM and they told him that they weren't available yet and didn't know when they would become available. So i told him to look up the part, and order it even if it does say it will be put on backorder. Whats the deal? How come everyone is getting all these responses and i can't get crap.

But...I just ordered mine, the contents include "Directions,label, and injector kit"

The parts manager said it should be here next week because its direct ship. so looks like ill be running stage 1 or pretty much stage 2 next week because i already have the 3" pulley..

Stage1: $500 Can order
Stage 2:750 Can not order
Stage1 to Stage 2 $400
Anyone try a dealership in the macomb area or oakland area that knows about the kits and can order stage 2 ? I told him that I could order stage 2 online for around $650 and wondered if he could come down from the $750 he said NO.

You could be confusing the 2 thing possible?? Cause the kit will probably be under warrenty but if you blow the engine then it could be a problem.

By me telling my dealer to order the stage 2 kit, even though it was telling him that it wasn't available and it would be immediatley backordered, will the order be processed and the kit shipped, or am i wasting my time and he needs to do something else??? I don't want to be waiting for the kit when it's not even ordered, if you know what i meen.

If you ask me, I don't think the kit is worth it if you loose a motor warrenty.. Cause it can get really expensive.. I am sure nothing will happen. but if it does..

This is a GM kit, designed by GM to be 100% compatible with your Balt and designed to 100% maintain your warranty, provided it's installed exactly as the instructions state, prefererably by a GM dealer techncian. After that the only thing that can void your engine warranty is improper maintenance, user abuse, or competing in any form of competition (sanctioned or otherwise)
