I am dropping my car off and picking it up on thursday from the dealership...getting a stage 2 kit put on it! I can't wait.

I am hoping it makes a noticable difference!

 

Cost?

 

trust me, you will notice it.

 

Coo. From what I've been reading, it's well worth it. Keep us updated on how you like it.

 

Cost is $1071.89 installed.

It is one of only two performance chevy dealerships in wisconsin and since I only have 575 miles on my car I don't want to take any chances with warranty issues. Besides, my dealership is awesome and I don't mind paying extra. They are the type of dealership that has already told me and proven (because of my bro's SS/SC) if ANYTHING goes wrong under warranty...they will fix it..no problems or questions about it.

 

Dude there is no way you're not going to notice a difference, I bought the kit myself, then brought to the stealership to put it on. But I slipped a 2.8 pulley in there and they didn't notice.

 

sweeeeeeet....hp is niceeeeeeeee!

 

Awesome! You'll love it.

 

you made a successful 3.0 for 2.8 switch off? i was wondering if that was possible, was debating that myself!

 

I would be lying if I said I wasn't thinking of that, but mathematically speaking...a 2.8 will run the 42lb injectors on too high a duty cycle. Not saying you can't but you really should run bigger than 42's with a 2.8 pulley.

I can give you guys the forumla's if you want them?

I appreciate all the input as well guys, thanks!!

 

damn they are chargin you pretty hard on installation....
I paid $900 Canadian installed..

 

FNFAST where in wisconsin are you getting the install? did you buy the kit from the dealership also?

hit me up on pm or on here...im lookin for a S2 after winter.

 

SEALY I sent you a PM.

I forgot to tell you in the message though...yes I got the stage 2 kit from them. $750.00 dollars before taxes and install. $1071 out the door.

 

I get to pick it up in 3 more hours!!!

Damn times going slow!!!!!!!!!

 

Congrats!

I hope to be making this upgrade myself sometime in the near future!

 

Got it back

Here is my take on it ( I only got to drive it back to work so no one jump me for what I say alright?)


The car feels... "looser"...does that sound strange. What I mean as it is not as "herky jerky" when you start out or get on the gas. But there is definitely a difference when you stand in it with how it takes off

Not like OH MY GOD!!!!!! But it is DEFINITELY a good difference.

Can anyone else confirm what I am talking about?

 

I was getting my stage 2 installed today as well, except the reflash wasnt downloading for my dealer. I have to go back in the morning to get it fully finished, but from what i could tell it seemed to be alot smoother.

 

ALOT smoother...and quite a bit quicker

 

Got it finished today, and wow is all i can say. Real quick and alot smoother

 

Love the Stage 2, i think they should put it as standard equipement! That way we would really get recognize byt the agazines as a FAST as hell car!

 

I'm definitively putting 1000$ on the side before next summer. I need that stage 2, I'm sold!

 

Congrats on your new mod. I can't wait to get Stage II. I deff. am ordering for myself for Christmas. As long as I can find a cheap 4x4 for winter. The cobalt is getting stored soon enough. Again, grats on the mod.

 

Thanks!

I agree...they should be sold this way!

 

I've had mine installed a week, now. Had to go out of town so it stood in the parking lot for a week. But what a difference. It was about the same cost as FNFast's and makes it pull like a train in third. Getting to sixty in second is easy and still have 1,000rpm to go (new redline is 7,000?)
And no badges.......

 

Yeah...third is much better but hitting 60 and still having room to go in second is swwwweeeeeetttttttttttt!!!!!!!
