so i am thinking about getting the ott stage 1 kit. does anyone have this kit and how do you like it? it seems like a great deal so i was just wondering.

 

Quite a few people have it, and have all laid down similar numbers with the same mods. Most have been rate at 256~258 whp with a few cooling mods and exhuast. are there any questions that you have about the kit i could answer?

For some feedback i would pm Altiery54 or ebristol as both have used our kit and could speak to its numbers.

 

thanks alot for the info!! i have cai and catback so hopefully they will help. do you know how hard the install is i think the only problem i will have is getting my stock pully off. i am kinda worried about my stock clutch to.

 

Don't worry about your clutch. If you know how to drive your clutch should be fine. I have much more power then you do, and have no issues with my clutch, it also has 40k miles on it.

 

my question is what all needs to be done when installed? meaning... does this thing have to be tuned? Im pretty sure it does. Looks like Ill be dropping the Stage 1 OTT system off to be installed then tuned on a dyno?

how have yall done yalls Stage I kits?

 

lsj, how many degrees of timing does that pcm command? just curious.

 

i know that it comes with a canned tune you send your pcm in or you get a refundable core charge for it.

 

Commands 18*

 

my tune will be faster

 

thx, yea thats a solid command for a 2.8

 

Obviously a custom tune is better. This canned tune is designed to run these mods on a complete stock exhaust/cooling car.

I had Josh tune it after he installed the parts. We put another degree of timing in it since it wasn't knocking at all. I'm at like 19*

 

yup good median for a canned tune.

im at 21.5-23 at the end of the powerband

i occasionally kr .5-2 tho

 

I have zero mods other thant he stage 1 kit. I'm sure after some cooling and a header (and wideband) we can get 20+* out of it safely.

 

yea dp + header is major KR plague

 

I'm shocked I get no KR with stock everything and 19* timing.

 

what Im asking is, would my car be driveable or safe to drive with those mods and ZERO tuning afterwards?

 

Dude, it comes with a tuned PCM.

 

The kit comes with a tuned pcm if you are asking to drive the car untuned no dont that is a bad idea and is asking for trouble.

 

i think what you are saying can i buy this and not continue to tune it and the answer is OTTP do it right the pcm is tuned for the package, and you don't have to keep playing with the tune. Put another way, the more you f**k with it the softer it gets...

 

Ok good to know

the reason I'm asking is I can find someone to install this at my place. but if it HAS to be tuned right away then Im gonna have to find a shop that has the ability to install then tune the car.


ROGER THAT!

 

im moving out to texas in the near future and will be able to take care of all ur tuning needs, if needed

 

he is my neighbor raven...so could u cut us a deal if we both go out to get tuned by u?

 

of course

 

do u have to do a crank case relearn with this kit???

 

this tune runs real rich. My friend has it on his redline. He is running full bolts with a h.e.

im runnin full bolt ons with gm stge 2.. my car pulls on his pretty good. so only way to get power out of this kit is to get it tuned with hp tuners afterwards
