Any Canadians on here been quoted prices on stage 1 and 2. I got quoted $1264 canadian for the stage 2 at my dealer in North Vancouver. That is a rip off even with the exchange rate.

Parts only or installed?

Got quoted 1000$ and he said it was a deal cause the real price is 1264$. Still bying it from the U.S even with exchange and all would still be a better deal.

I was looking for the Stage 2 belt seperate from the kit and GSoccer24 posted the individual part numbers in Stage 2. Still unconfirmed if you can buy the belt serperate at the dealers, but these are the part numbers which the kit consists:

what else
 

If you buy the stage one kit and you wanted to go with a 2.8 inch pulley besides the pulley what else do you need besides a smaller belt. maybe a tensioner or something. and how do you know what size belt to get.

Well for the 2.8" pulley i'm sure the belt that comes with Stage 2 would be fine without buying a tensioner. but if you don't have the smaller belt then the tensioner is needed

What kind of 1/4 mile times will the stage II yield (ballpark range is fine)?

dealership question
 

i had my dealership tell me that if they have to call the techline for the reflash that they have to pay $100 for the new PCM reflash.......and they are trying to pass the busk on to me!!! is this total BS or is he thinking of something else?:cssNET: :usa:

That's total B.S.! All you should be paying for is the labor. I only paid $150 for the total install of my stage 2, reflash included.

Them having to pay $100 for the program and then passing the cost onto you is B.S.! No, dealer needs to pay for the STG1 or 2 program from GM, you already paid for it with the kit. But, they can charge what they want for install and programming. If there cost is too high for you, try to find another dealer! I cannot believe some of the S*&T Dealerships are pulling about these kits. If my shop can charge $635 for STG2 and 2hrs labor for install, I don't see why some people are quoted 3.5 hrs or more for labor and over $750 for parts or some dealers saying your warranty is Void, if the kit is installed, IT IS NOT!!
Sorry, this kind of crap, just pisses me off!!

I had to bring my car to a different dealer then the one who installed my Stage kit and there telling me the Stage kit without a doubt voids my my powertrain warrenty?!

has anyone here ordered a stage 2 kit in the past few weeks? i ordered mine around 2 weeks ago, being told it may be on backorder and that they had a ship date listed as the 24th. well that has came and went so i asked if it shipped and was told it hadnt and it was still backordered all they could do is wait on gm, they couldnt rush the order like they can on other backordered parts. anyone having this problem. i know it comes from 3rd party, yada yada yada...

same deal
 

I ordered my stage 2 0n 4/12 and my dealer can give me no sort of an estimated time frame as to when I could my kit come in. I just don't see what could take so long to get these little kits together...

Stage 2 ordered 4-18......still waiting!

Mine was 3 weeks ago today and I told the GM parts guy to cancel it. They have my money, but I don't have my part. I'll go buy something else with the money now.

Tomorrow my stg2 order(prepaid) is 4 wks old.
Reminds of something else I was waiting on about a year ago....

"900 and something for the kit, plus 2 or so hours of labour."

That is the guys exact words...

That is some insane mark up.

bastards....

I ordered it the day it came out and took 3 business days to get it.

i wish i could just take the money back but it was financed in with the car so i dont feel like going through the hassle of trying to get cash back. but at least i only paid $570 for it ha. id be kind mad if i had to pay $800 or more for parts and install and still didnt have it

I wonder if u could negotiate the price of the car and ask them to chip in a stage 2 kit with the price. that would be cool

Has anyone had a problem getting the reflash done? My dealer is saying that GM hasn't gotten back to them with the update. It has been since Monday. Does anyone know what exactly is suppost to happen, so maybe I can let them know what to do. THey have never done a stage reflash yet. Not common around here.

can you run a 2.8" pulley with only the gm stage one kit? i mean is some sort of MAT or piggeyback required?

You shouldnt have a problem. You should look into getting the belt that comes with stage 2 thought. Alot of people are doing it.

No. My dealership was new to this installation. The manager had to call services and find out what my VIC number was that corresponded to the number that came in the instruction booklet in the kit and voila, TUNED.

what is the price on just the belt?
