GM Stage 3 Install Questions
I apologize if this has been covered, I searched and got no result.
1. Has anybody purchased the Stage 3 kit yet?
2. If so, did the install take longer due to the intercooler end-plate?
3. Also, after everything was bought/shipped/installed, how much did it cost total?
Thanks in advance.

Stage 3 is like a stock-market right now.. its all over, people's questions are everywhere, its chaotic.. you need S2 to have S3.. you need S1 to have S2 and S1&S2 to have S3.. lol..

Thanks for that reply bro. Pretty much answered all my questions. I honestly didn't know you had to have Stage 2 to go to 3. That kinda puts a rain on my parade.

I thought the GM Stage 2 pulley was 77.9mm

well that 625 for Stage 3 is a good price but don't forget u need Stage 2 as well.. So about 1200 bucks total for parts

Haha, Just playing. I do wish Gm would release a stage kit with some SERIOUS HP. Like a Whipple Swap or something. But my friend with Mopar Stage 3 said it is NOT WARRANTIED. SO that sucks.

Questions
1) Is the pulley a 2.9
2) Do you need the bypas in order to run this or can just bu the PCM and a 2.9 pulley and be alright?
3) Whe nthey say a less restrictive exhaust system is requried . Would the GMpp sport or touring work?
