GM Stage 2 help (bad tune?)
GM Stage 2 help (bad tune?)
Hi all, I hate to make my first post about a problem, but I really need some help.
I recently installed the GM Stage 2 kit. Everything went fine during the install, and I just got it tuned by my local Chevy dealer today. It feels like it's missing if you get on it in second gear, it hits the rev limiter very hard at 6500 (thought it was supposed to be up at 7000 now). Also, the boost bleeds back down to 10ish PSI (from 15) after 6k. I've got it parked until Monday when I can take it back. Could they have not done a tune, but just cut off the CEL? I'm at a loss for Ideas here. Not very happy about all this work to....well....not work.

you didnt get the tune.
did you specifically tell them to do the stage 2 tune, and give them your paperwork including the code number that came in the kit, so they can call GM to clear the reflash?
If so, get in there and rip them a new *******.

yea they rape you and then take your money....make sure they don't charge you for the tune or let them tell your there isn't any tune
this has happend to several people, including me. gm dealers are using a new system or something where they just get a flash off the computer and pick the most recent one. THEY CANT DO IT THIS WAY, THEY MUST CALL THE TECH LINE, AND GIVE THEM YOUR AUTHORIZATION CODE AND THE TECH LINE WILL GIVE THEM A VCI #.
this is very important, if they dont do it this way you will just get an updated flash for a non stage 2 car.
