iwas just wondering what type of gains i would expect to see if i have the stock exhuast and airbox mod with this kit...I'm gonna get an exhuast as soon as i get a little bit more money, but i have enough for the kit now.

Expect roughly a true 15% in power, what year is your car ?

shiftingloco310

i have a 2005 ss s/c

jmartinez

yea buy the kit i installed mine on 2/24 and a beast is born the kit is really worth it.
no codes,not belt slippage,not running lean just right,=18psi the name speaks for it self
INTENSE stg 3 kit.

shiftingloco310

did you get it dyno tuned? and did you buy the $20 3" idler pulley?

JAESS

get the pulley. My belt was slipping with the 2.8 and now with the idler pulley it's fine.

I hit 270, a local guy hit 267, both of us stock exhaust, i did have my cat removed, not much of a gain there though. I have the stock filter and airbox still on, i think he had the injen intake. Just a rough idea for you.

Do you need stage 1 or 2 to install stage 3?

patathSS

There is no 1 or 2 through Intense, only 3.

R33P3R007

there is no intense stage 1 or 2. so no. just stage 3

trobin44

No. Not for the Intense stg 3 you don't.

how long do you think the stock clutch will hold up?

zinner

It will be fine as long as you are nice to it. That means no powershifting or slipping it on launches.

shiftingloco310

i don't luanch cuz i personally think thats the worst thing to do to your car...thats my personal opinion so please don't bash on that. anyway if i do beat on it it's usually on a 20-30 mph roll or if i am at a light i let it roll first then punch it.

FAST06SS

Make sure that whatever gear you are in, DON'T floor it unlees you are above 3800-4000rpm!!

Maxim

how hard is it to change to a upgraded clutch on one of these cars ?

shiftingloco310

i'm guessing i wont catch any traction at the lower rpm's? so wait if i'm on the road and someone tries f'ing with me i can't punch it until i hit 4k rpm?

Why?

05_Blue_B10WN_SS

Probably too much stress (torque) for the stock clutch.

Jmc007

Because with tha kind of power, the clutch will be destroyed. Stock clutch sucks.

FAST06SS

Exactly! But that is just from my expierence

jmartinez

fast why dont you take your airbox off and cut the box so you have it open for a k/n filter thats what i did for about $40 bucks for the filter instead of $250 for a injen or etc...
its alot cheaper. cheap horsepower is always better.

just wondering fellas, but how much is the intense stage 3 kit, and about how much experience/knowledge would i need to have to be able to install it myself ( im only 17 and have a 2006 ss/sc and i dont know too much about cars) thanks

ReMz

i believe i heard something about waiting for the GM Stage 1/2 reflash before purchasing an Intense Stage 3... is this correct?

shiftingloco310

man i really want to get this kit but i'll prolly go through my clutch real fast since autocross day starts in two weeks. and rite now i just have enough to get the stage 3 kit...i would have to wait like a month or 2 to get the clutch...what would you guys recomend? i/e for now?
