Just got GM stage 2 installed....question
Well that is the funny part. I asked the guy if I could bring it in right away, and he said he wouldn't be able to get to it today because he would have to call GM because my VIN wasn't pulling up right in the system or something. Which tells me either he is flat out lying because he doesn't want to deal with it today, or he tried to flash it unsuccessfully, and said **** it since the CEL is not on.
Just got off the phone with the dealer.....they said they thought I already had the gm stage 1 kit on it, therefore they didn't have to reprogram ECM.....what a bunch of fckn morons....I guess they pulled that out of their ass, because I NEVER told them that.....so back to the dealer for a reprogram
I think this is being blown up just a little. The dealership will reflash the ecu for him without a doubt and he looses a few hours inconvience. GM Stage 2 does cut out at 7k.
Its a great deal to get 40hp for under 1k. I have nothing but a GM Stage 2 and got into the 13 in the middle of the day so just relax kido and get to the dealership when they can get you in.

I had stage two installed on my car and it was set at 6500 also.I think they did a revision on the calibration to lower the limiter for warrenty reasons.Mines a 2006 btw.Dont know the date they changed it but I had Area57 confirm it and it was set to 6500 after dealer install.You can have somone with HPT bump it up.

GM Stage 2 will get an SS/SC in the high 13's with a good driver. It's been done many times by people on here.
Yes its a inconvience but a easy fix. It would be way worse if they where not going to re do it. I was at a dealership talking to a guy about a ss and he said he would have it transfered from one dealership to theirs so the next morning i would get it. Got there the next morning and the car was sold last week. Dealer guy had no clue and i was pissed.
**** happens is what i am trying to say, not everything is flawless. Yes the dealership fucked up, but is also going to fix it. All he has to do is just wait a day.
Maybe you kids should learn how to relax.

Yep no exhaust or intake. Just stage two.

Want pictures under my hood and my 6771 driver number as well to shut you up
Maybe you cant drive ever thing about that

You dont need cooling mods with GMS2 to run 13's.
Actually, if you arent in the high 13's with GMS2 you need to practice your driving. A stock SS/SC is more than capable of low 14's. GMS2 is night and day from a stock SS/SC we all know that. So given that you can see why its more than possible to crank out high 13 sec time slips.

Then i guess there are a lot of bad drivers lol. Not saying you're wrong, just saying i havent seen it. Nice job on the time ULwiz. Guess it can be done haha. I'll be going to the track next friday for the first time with my OTTP stage 2. Cant wait to see what i'm gonna run.
LMAO @ The comment about not being able to break 13's on GMS2.. I'm 100% stock besides GMS2 and I ran 13.871 last weekend.
No excuses either, but first off, my car does need a new TOB, and second it was 87°F out WITHOUT the heat index, and I sat in staging for what felt like forever. Heat-soaked to the max.
On a 60°F day, close to no humidity, I could see a 13.5 being possible. Honestly.

Well this is a forum, to post useful information, and, you were doubting that it was possible, and I am just verifying that it is in fact possible. I will take a picture of the slip when I have time.
Ummm ULWiz has already done so... And if you read what i put i didn't say it wasn't possible, i said i have never seen it. And i saw his time slip. So we're good. I have an OTTP stage 2 so i'll see what it will run next friday
Well I can't get my car in until Monday because I am out of town, but the service manager said gm may charge them something like 50 dollars for the flash...I thought that's what the authorization code was for? If they even try to charge me that I will seriously go off on them.

Update
Took the car to the dealer Monday morning and they finally flashed it. The difference is night and day. I immediately took it up to redline to test the new tune and sure enough, it went straight to 7k. The dealer even refunded me 90 bucks, so the install was only $180, which brings the grand total for the GM stage 2 kit parts and labor to about $800. Right now I'm just enjoying the extra power.
