The stage two kit includes all the items in the stage one so he only has to
buy the stage two kit.

This just came from my sister!!!!

So screw stage 1!!!

 

well duuuhh...lol...most of us are doing the stage one with a 2.8 pulley though

 

Yeah, that's what I'm going with. Stage one and then a 2.8 pulley over the 3.0 in the stage kit.

 

Ive gotten a bunch PM's asking the questiong "Do I need stage 1 to get stage 2?"

So I answered it

 

did you ask your sister for Iman numbers yet ..I see you haven't responded to my PM's

 

why not a 2.6"

 

Send me the pm again, Ive had to delete my box a few times sorry.

 

I think i am just going to get the stage 2, installed by gm. then later pully it if needed. I doubt i will need any more power. but then again can you ever have enough

 

 

Thanx for all the updates.

For those thinking of a 2.8 pulley and smaller, i suggest some research into the limits of the M62. From what I have read the smallest pulley before maxing out the S/C is 2.85.

 

A 2.8 is the smallest we can go, I believe. With this size, you'd have to drive your car at over 6k RPM 50% of the time to do any damage.

At least that's what I learned over on the Redline forums.

I have a 2.85 I'm waiting to put on but I just lost my job and can't afford to buy the adjustable pulley tensioner to take up the slack in the belt.

I'll be getting the Stage 1 when it comes out hopefully.

 

I am also going with the gm stage 2 kit for warantee issues.

 

 

im going to make sure im under warranty. im already having trouble with mine. look how much problems a intake gives. imagine the pulley deal

 

warranty issues are the main concern... i can't afford to replace an engine, but if the stage 2 ***** it up, they have to replace it... so im not changing up anything, just getting the stage 2 and being happy.

 

just a theory(with stage1): If you went with a 2.6 pulley you could probably run it and get higher boost at lower rpm thus improving your low to mid power as long as you lower your red line a little. your redline would need to be closer to 6000. you still would pick up very good top end power. what do you think?

 

Yeah why not ...

 

No one is sure of that unless someone got his blower damaged.

 

Even though GM is going to back these kits with warrenties, I still and will always say, If you mod a car your kissing your warrenty goodbye! (Well, if your modding outside of the staged kits)
