no the dealer just uploads a tune that comes with the stage one... ull need someone with hp tuners to tune it up nice for ya.. and the zzp youll need the modualr pulley system.. i have it an love it.. if you buy it used make sure you get the pulley and the hub (its a 2 peice pulley)

you could even go as far as a 2.8 make u a bit faster ull b close to maxing out the 42 # but there is always the 60# an the pulley stays the same price.. plus ull b faster lol

ionredline68, you've got a pm about pulleys.

I've also got a cobra heat exchanger that I'm looking to sell if you're interested!

Stage 1 IMO is probably a waste. I don't see it gaining close to 30 hp like GM claims with larger injectors and a tune. Does anyone here even have stage 1 with the stock pulley? Maybe someone can chime in on how well the gains are over stock.

x2 stage one is a waste... acutally both stages are a waste (unless u want the warrenty) its cheaper to get the pulley the injectors an the tune else where... honestly im happy i put the 2.7 on there it runs sweeeeeet lol i like hpw this car takes well to mods like that.... well till soempoint.... but its time for me to move to a whole 'nother beat ( big turbo [.50 trim] srt-4 !!!)

Stage 1 and 2 are safe. I haven't seen a stock stage tuned and pullied car blow a piston or ringland yet . On the other hand i have seen a bunch of custom tuned cars have engine failure ( along with other company's canned tuned cars) . Waste is kinda harsh , safe would be a better word.
