I just bought a 2006 cobalt ss/sc a little bit ago and I was going to buy the stage 2 kit but my budgets tight If I just go with the stage 1 injectors do I still need to go get the car tuned at a dealership????Sorry if there is already a thread I searched but didn't find any info...

 

Yes you will still need to bring it to the dealer to get reflashed, but that is included in the cost of GM stage 1 i believe

 

if you buy stage 1, which is the injectors.. it comes with a tune that gets loaded from the dealership.

 

x2 !!!!

 

And actually, if you go out and buy a smaller pulley with the pulley hub and a smaller belt (you can find all of these used, pulleys are 50 bucks new) you will have made your own stage kit..

as the stage 1 tune is teh same for stage 2.

 

correct again sir !! GM Stage 1 tune = same tune used for GM Stage 2 !!

 

you need to get i think it is zzp stage 2? i dunno i saw a thread about it only being $299 and apparentley you get more hp and tq than gm's stage 2...

 

i wouldn't get ZZP Stage 2 .... if you don't want a GM Stage kit buy OTTP Stage 1 !!!

 

lose your warrenty then tho..

 

you do with any of them other than the gm

 

basically op we are telling you if you don't have a warrenty buy aftermarket..... and if you do have a warrenty........ buy aftermarket?..... why not lol you only live once.....ish

 

well not that u ever really get much from warrenty anyway

 

If you have a warranty that has a long time to go, i would wait.. but if your coming close to your time being up... take it in for a check up.. maybe break some **** on purpose so they replace it, then go aftermarket.. OTT has the best stage kit for the money.

 

ya thats why im excited about running out of warrenty, so i can mod it more but then when something goes ill be f***ed, cause im usually broke....

 

i didnt care... lol...

its not like they CANT fix it if you dont have warranty... you just have to pay.

 

ya that pay part is where i have trouble lol, but i mean ill just skip the doctor or dentist so i can fix my car lol

 

lol... What ever it takes...

Id do the same.

 

lol thanks I didn't know the stage kits go on the same tune, screw 2 years of warranty left I want more hp

 

then honestly, go to www.ottperformance.com and get their stage kit for the cobalt..

wayyyyyy more worth the money.

 

all right I'm going to take a look

ok so on the OTT STAGE 1 KIT do you just bolt it on and go or do you have to do anything special for the pcm install

 

if you buy the pcm from them, you have to go to dealer to get a CASE relearn done... should only be half hour shop charge...

or you can opt to send your pcm to them, and they tune it, and send it back... then you have to do NOTHING but install it.
