Talking Just bought a GM Stage 2

I found it on ebay for $310!!!! New hub w/bolts, New Belt, pulley has 2 scratches, 42# injectors and harness has 800 miles on it. How much would a dealer Flash cost me?

I'm not sure, but i dont think the dealer can flash your pcm since the code for the kit has already been used...

If the kit has been used you can't get the flash. Each kit's flash is vin specific and can only be used once.

You cannot get a flast from your dealer unless you buy the kit. no VCI number no flash for you. I tried this a few years ago.

I was going to do this but i found out that you can't get flashed from the dealer no matter what unless you buy the kit. Just get a tune from OTTP. He sent me a gm stage 2 tune.

No because the VCI number is coaded with your vin number. Need a custom tune

They will not give you a tune just for fun....

When you buy the stage kit, it comes with a code that the dealer uses to authenticate the GM flash...

once the code is used, it CANNOT be used again...

they cannot just give you a tune, or a code... They can only give you one if you give them the code..

Looks like your going to have to spend about 100-150 on getting a HPtune.

Your car will NOT run correctly with larger injectors and no tune.

When u buy online, all the options are right there... You basically just give them a mod list...

OTT does the same thing as well..

You have the choice of sending in your PCM, or having them send you one... Its MUCH LESS of a hassel just to send them your PCM and have them send it back.
