I love it when kids who know nothing about cars go on CSS.net and make insane statements like that ...

I have 93000 + on my 05 SS and stage 2 was installed at around 20k. I also put an even smaller pulley on for a while but found that I needed to upgrade to bigger injectors so I put the stage 2 pulley back on. I have had no issue with the car except for tearing up the cat.

If you get a used kit you have to get it tuned. The reflash code can only be used once and it is bound to the VIN number.

just thought i would let yall know, if you have no care for the factory warrenty, you can get stage two kits from intense for under 380.00 bucks. then the 100 for the hp tuners vin registration. i actually bought all the pieces for my stage two, + the hp tune for a total of 300.00 its easy to find people that are wanting to sell 42lbs and harness, along with pulleys and hubs for cheap. just thrown my lil 2cents out there.

lol. depends on the dealer and what goes wrong with your car. mine warrenty is about to run out so i could care less. but yeah as i stated if you do not care about your warrenty then theres a cheaper way.

yeah me neither, never actually had to use it, minus the first 5 miles lol. was only getting 5 lbs of boost, brought it back in before i brought it home and had some sensor replaced, that was the last time i used it, other than the sunroof leaking 4-5 times ive never had any issues with the car, and if i ever do, screw it! time to upgrade the part!

Remove stock pulley with J tool (pain in the ass) and install hub and pulley.
Install fuel injectors.
Get tuned immediately if you cant get the GM reflash.
