I always say to those asking about Stage Kits to just make your own "kit" and get a custom tune.

Drive down to Indianapolis and have Rob Archer tune your car.

^x2 That way you get what you want the way you want it. I think that sometimes it is cheaper to do it that way as well.

Had Intense Stage 4 on my Cobalt for a little over a year and never had a problem with it. Then Again had them dyno tune it. I made 262hp and 244tq with just CAI and cat-back and of course the Stage 4.

LoL @ "intense but don't get their tune" It's not a stage kit w/o the tune. Don't bother with any of that. You can probably do it all cheaper and safer if you but the parts and get a custom tune.

Don't forget your dual pass!!!
