I am from the Chicago area and I decided to get the Intense Stage 5 Kit installed by Intense themselves. I had an appointment at 8am on yesterday (monday) morning to have Stage 5, Suspension package and the Scan guage installed. I started driving down to Plain City OH. at 10pm sunday night. Since they are an hour ahead of Chicago time, I got there at around 5:30am there time. I slept in my car until the place opened. They started working on my car at about 7:45am. I crashed on the couch in the waiting area for a couple hours. They finished my car at around 11:30am and I was on my way home. So after about 14 hours of driving all I can say is ....Wow.... I was so impressed by the sudden boost in power. I am hitting 19lbs of boost and I am loving it! As you can probably guess, the drive home was awesome! I just want to say thank you to INTENSE for everything, they are a bunch of awesome guys. I will post pics sometime in the near future for you guys. I am accually going up to the track today to see how well she does. I just thought I share my happiness with you guys.

 

hope you got axles and a clutch./.. if not be gentle off the line at the track... don't want to see you end up like the 3 of us did at the track last week

 

congrats, and have fun

If you plan on tracking her alot though you might wanna think about axles/clutch

lol 06black and I speek from experience,

 

if you dont mind me asking, what was the total bill with labor, room and board included?

and what all does the stage 5 include?

 

Lucky! Watch that clutch and those axles like everyone else said. Get a dyno too!

 

i think he may wanna think about a clutch even if he dont take it to the track

 

Im planning on doing the same thing in the future... driving 450 miles and letting them put on a new clutch,flyewheel, axles and custom tune....

 

The Autolites 3922 plugs that come with the intense stage kits, what range colder are they? 1step colder or 2 step colder? just trying to figure which ones I need.....

 

Awesome purchase, how is the suspension package? Much vibration?

 

lol Stage 5 includes everything listed in my signiture, and also a couple little things like supercharger oil, and gasket maker and stuff.

My total came out to $1962.?? after tax. That is with stage 5, suspension package, scan gauge and installation for all three. If you check there website, they have free motor mounts special for every order over $100 bucks. So they took those off the price. Also they charged me like 30 bucks to install the scan gauge, when it usually costs more. like $80 I think? Because I had the gauge installed in my pull down area where my trunk ajar button is, so it cost less.

EDIT: Gas only cost me about 80 bucks round trip. I got almost 350 miles to the tank! I love highway driving. lol

 

They are 1 step colder...

 

Accually Yes. I didnt think there was going to be as much vibration as there is. But after the trip back I feel as if they broke in a little more. It makes it feel more like a race car now. lol

Thanks everyone for the comments and compliments. I am looking into get a clutch and axles soon, so It wont be shocked if they do blow. But I dont plan on killing right off the start tho. But this is just the start of my modding.

 

Well thats a hell of a start for modding!

 

what is this suspension pkg that you speek of?

 

good job keep us postsed on the track times and or dyno results

 

It's the poly trans bushings and the CABs

 

ohh ok..got ya.

 

How about you just look at what is listed in his signature under the suspension package?

 

That was a beautiful story.

 

This is the first i have heard of this, I really missed something. im getting the stage 4 and suspension package in 2 weeks, could you explain where they have this posted cuz i would definately like that as well. Thanks.

 

waiting for track times lucky bastard !

 

I just posted track times in the drag racing thread... nothing to get excited about tho... didnt do too well.

I raced my brother on the expressway from about 40 to 100 and he has a stage 2 srt-4 that runs low 13s @ 104-106mph (with drag radials) and I was right next to him the whole time.... I wasnt pulling and he wasnt pulling.... it was incredible. I was really happy, because it basically showed me what my car could do... if I had traction. lol

 

That's exactly what I wanted to hear. You just made my decision to stay Supercahrged or go Turbo harder. Mmmmmm.......... Congrats though.
