i just ordered my stage 3 intense kit. does any body have this could you tell me pros and cons likes and dislikes, can you definatly feel a power increase..............

 

The tune, mail order tunes have there cons.

 

all i have to say is be careful with the stage 3 because my friend blew his internals!

 

yeah, i hate to badmouth a company second hand but i have heard bad things about intenses tunes....

 

most people would say not to get a canned tune... and you're supposed to look at the pros and cons BEFORE you buy, not after

 

yah you'll want more power, i had it and ended up going to the 60's and 2.5" pulley, its ok if you plan on revving to 8k and doing cam work and nuetral balance shafts. probly what ill do when i get my cams reground.

 

You would be better off getting the GM Perfomance stages. they add more HP per stage than intense, are safer, and dont void your warranty, if you leave out the CPU from stg 3, and just leave the tune from STG 2.

 

Get the tune looked at from someone when you get it. Or can anyone not look into a aftermarket tune from a manufacter?

 

pretty good tune, but be carefull driving it. don't get carried away ot you will blow your stock internals. (like i did)

 

so is this a good first step, i see lots of negativity?

 

Its a good 1st step. I have it and i like it. BUT yeah the tune is not so great

 

I have the stage 3 and love it. drive the car every day. beat the hell out of it every day. no problems. and how did (dont remember your name whover killed your internals) do what you did? were you driving with out the case learn?

their also is a intense stage 4 ss/sc around me who loves that kit. it is also a lot faster.

its a nice kit but if I could do it again iwould go with one of the tag kits.


hope this helped.

its a good kit but if i could do it over i would have just bought the GM stage 2 kit, and got a 2.8 pulley
