I'm not saying the thread starter is lying, I just think whoever is "sportcompact@aol.com" is an impostor

I know you have been straightened out already but I wanted to give a hint as to why GM would have an AOL email addy. They have a deal going on with AOL that if you are an employee you can get AOL dial up access for $5 a month. I am sure they have other things worked out as well......

Doesn't the stage 3 kit for the SRT4 void its warrenty too? So we're in the same boat as those guys, fast ain't cheep and it appears no warrenty is part of the price.

I was just saying those guys loose thier warrenty too. Its the price of going fast I guess.

All I know is that for the money that it will cost, there would be no reason to buy it. Might as well go aftermarket.

Anyway I work at a GM performance parts dealership in Maryland and so far we haven't had a single issue relating to the stage kits. Now true that could change tomorrow but for now I didn't realize you guys were having that many issues with them. Sorry.

Hi, Tony.
We're going to officially announce the Stage 3 kit at NOPI Nationals on Sept 16th. It's not quite ready for sale, yet. We'll start selling at the end of November.

Hey guys I emailed them again and this was the response.
Hi, Tony-
Parts should be available next month. You'll probably see more info around SEMA time. You might want to pick up the SEMA issue of TPR magazine.
The delay was caused by a supplier who mis-built our 2-pass intercooler endplates, so we had to send them all back. The problem is being corrected immediately, and then we'll be ready for sale.

Sweet, I think it will be cool to have something available with some actual GMMP testing behind it.
I wonder if I should go to SEMA this year, it's always such a blast.

HA the best part is when you call gm about this they have NO idea about it at all. I had the parts guy call and they told him o hold on the gm performance guy is right here....guy had no clue or NEVER heard anything about it. Got to love GM and there great communication skills.
