its new to me

As of now i am the proud owner of a 2007 cobalt ss/sc. its bone stock but the price was right. once i get some more funds im planning on going to stage 2. However, I think I would have to do GM stage 2 kit (despite the lack of power) for warrantee purposes. I was doing some research and saw some things about the GM stage 2 kit running rich? is this a common occurrence

I'd reccommend getting the GMPP header and an aftermarket downpipe and a GMPP catback exhaust too. it'll just give it a nice sound and let it flow better with the stage 2. won't be rediculously loud or anything though. GMPP exhaust is a real nice setup.

high fuel to air ratio, or low air to fuel either way. But better to run rich than to run lean.
