For those of you that are getting this kit, I want a full review on the ease of install and performance! If it all checks out, I'm getting one too!

Badmunky

Sounds good. If GM dosnt get ther act together soon Ill be ordering this kit.

Intense has been flat out AWESOME to work with. Quick response to emails and Phone calls. They underestimated the response they would get to this kit, but have done more than was necessary to take care of the delays. First Class Company!!!

Thanks Intense Racing!!

er... too bad changing a pulley isn't 'plug n play'. especially when you gotta take the supercharger out!

JAESS

Hey mav it's really easy. I did it in less than one hour.

Yeah I wasnt excited about doing that either. But I talked to Tim and they are going to install my pulley for me free of charge and then im going to do the rest. Great customer service already!

i cant buy this kit i got a 2004 saturn ion redline


damnit just got some cash too!

2K5SS/SC?

^^^^ Why not. You just need to go to the dyno, and fine tune the settings. Isn't intense looking for someone to help them out with an 04 redline? Maybe some incentive there on your part for providing the fine tune for them.

Anyone know the how big the lost of gas milage is?

epiphany

its pretty much in how you drive it. Initially Im sure you will see a pretty big drop just from being boost hppy.

I belive GM has just lost a lot of business. I thought that the staged kits were going to be flying off the shelves, not anymore. They might as well can stage 2 and just release the reflash. I'm so pissed at them. GM is so ******* slow with this ****. But now intense is going to have my money soon.

epiphany

I think its pretty common for there to be this kind of a wait. If I remember correctly SRT guys have quite a wait till mopar got around to releasing their kits.

I think the stage kit is gonna be overpriced for what you get anyways. The only thing anyone on here really needs is the reflash. And everyones all worried about the warrenty. I have no data to prove this, but i think the stage kits are only covered under warrenty for 1 year...

Got IT!!

Doc

stage 1 = $424.15 + 1 hour
stage 2 = $637.50 + 1.5 hours
stage 1 to 2 = $339.15 + 1 hour

what I heard from a birdie

nice first post...dont troll unless you got some proof...

Dman

i think what im gonna do (if gm releases it the stage one and there is an rpm increase) is get stage one anyways and keep my injectors and crap...bah, see, this is what being impatient does...hell, i could keep the maf-t and retune after the upgrade...

There's plently on "proof" at clubgp.com. But hey you'll only find a ton of guys that will agree with me on scattered parts. The fact remains that Intense's OWN dyno chart
shows an unstable fuel curve. Who wants to run a boosted car lean?

My point that suggests waiting for a GM engineered solution is to wait for parts and a PCM
that solves the problem. If the aftermarket guys get into programming this application, (they've all dissed the GM 4cyl market so far so keep dreaming), then maybe these parts
can be properly supported.

WTF? am I missing something.

06black

hmmm.....well you may or may not be rite about intence scattering parts all over the strip...but i think your wrong but the one thing i know your totaly of your ****** rocker is about aftermarket programing I for one can tell you that i know of at least 1 company that has cracked the code and has a reprogramer that works and is ALMOST done with testing.....i can promis you that....so yea in general i just think your wrong troll

Ya know , Ive heard just about as many GOOD stories and happy Intense customers and of the few people that seem to follow Intense around wherever they go trying to blacklabel them , I have yet to see any information that clearly says Intense is bad shop . Sorry guy , but your word means absolutely nothing . Why is Intense so popular , if they are in fact so damn horrible ? Without diabolical proof of wrong doing , internet forums are not very accurate source of information when regarding a companies reputation . Unfortunatly , FOR THE MOST part , a company is black labeled before they are even given a chance to resond , NOT FAIR ... and whats even sadder , is alot of the time everyone jumps on the bandwagon wether they have first hand expirience with the company or not . Another common thing I see nowadays , is people not smart enuff to know they fucked their own **** up , so again , they blame the company .


Funny how Im looking forward to doing business with Intense based of feedback from the 3800 community . Please dont ruin this thread by continued responses dude , just move on

On a boosted car with an intercooler as efficient as the LSJ's it is possible to run leaner and in fact you may pick up some extra power by doing so. As long as you don't run so lean as to cause KR then your fine. Is our MAFT the best solution to the fueling curve? Not by any means, however, until PCM access is available this solution DOES work and it is available now to those who want the power now.

BTW. nice screenname. Welcome to CobaltSS.net

So a year later.....any horror stories from Intense users so far? How does a GM Stage II car compare to an Intense Stage 4 car? Is stage II preferred as a daily driver as compared to Intense Staged kits? Has any concensus been reached?

plus2ss

Wow, way to keep this thread alive. Ive got the old stg3 with the MAF-T. Its been about 9 months now and no problems. Im still in need of a custom tune badly. I dont drive the car in the winter, so I dont have to worry about it until spring.

I have Stage 4 and I havn't had a problem....Other than a slipping belt, haha. I have the GM Stage 2 belt that I need to put on to take care of that issue. As far as the Intense vs. GM S2........The Intense kit makes much more power
