Stage 2 and save the rest.

In order to do 2.6 + 60# you would need the stage 2 belt and a custom tune. Altogether it would total over 1k.

Buy the stage 2 kit. That plus a cold air intake (I have AEM) will change your life.

dats the problem dealer wants 1100 installed for the stage2

Delta2.2

tell them to screw themselves and do it for less. check other dealers and ask for less

I got my kit for $480 and had my dealer install it for $120, but I get really good deals from them because I buy over $60,000 in parts from them a year for my shop.

Please dont say/use DATS...

And if your dealer wants that much goto another dealer, or do it yourself.

2.6 inch pulley 60#ers... about 400-500 pends on where you go... get an idler pulley.. or a belt... thats gonna run you about 50 bux.. local hptuners normall like 150.. me im getting tuned with hpt with dyno runs for 175...thats ~$700 cai abut 200 or so.. $900... sae the 100 for gas... or get some soild mounts..

DaREDss

yeah but wud i still be able to use the reflash?

Matty

The GM one? No. You wouldn't need it though.

Johnboy12358

Doh.

DaREDss

Best idea so far but i woudl go up there and take care of it myself

Johnboy12358

Yeah 1100 for the stage two is BS. I paid under 800 for the entire thing. And that was probably too high. The tax man should be able to pay for it when you get your check from uncle sammy, mine did.

DaREDss

why woudlnt i need the reflash thats part of the hp gain right?

Matty

Becuase the HPtune would be on there. It would smooth things out and give you the most power right from the get go.
This is refering to what 0redline6 said and if you went that way.

DaREDss

oh thought you were talking about the stage 2 because someone told me each one has a specific code for each car or some ****.

And uncle sam is paying for more then half of this lol

Matty

LOL. The stage 2 flash you would get would be the latest, but I would ask them to make sure you get the latest software available.

DaREDss

thnx bro mite go ur way save the warranty just incase

2K5SS/SC?

Order iStage 2 from Crate Engine Depot for the lower cost, and with the directions show the dealership that it only requires 1.5-2 hours labor. Pay only for that time on the labor as well. Under a $1000 easy, and you can burn the rest on gas!

listen man...

dont go 2.6 pulley, thats too much, i have been there, i can vouch from experience, that pulley is just way to small without buying the right supporting/cooling mods. Which in your case i doubt you want to go into bothering with extra surge tank/dual pass ie. STG3+METH+extra heat exchanger ETC.

You will be happy with this setup AND keep your warranty! Assuming you have the 100K because your car is brand new right?


STG1-$500 installed at the most.
Modular Pulley System with a pulley of your choice(2.85")-$100
STG2 Belt-$40
NGK BKR7E One step colder Plugs-$11

Total=$651!!!!

Hope you make the right move man, later

DaREDss

huh didnt think of it that way dats a good idea
