I wanna boost my PSI a lil' more @ the track and I wanna know what you guys have pushed it to safely on stock internals. I have an 06. Also what is a good electronic boost controller for these.

 

sorry bor, but this isnt a turbo setup... if you want to upgrade the boost, change your pulley

 

So taking this to stage 2 would be basically just increasing my PSI?

 

N00B!!!! jk man you can get stage 2 but its not worth all that money. Check tagracecraft.com out

 

GM stage 2 keeps the factory warrenty brings your car up to 241whp pushing 15 lbs of boost with 42lb injectors smaller belt and 3' pully

oh yeah ECU flash brings redline to 7000

 

it comes with a 3' pulley?!

 

i love reading noob posts


not to mention, it looks like he stole somones cool-ass signature pic

 

^ Thats the way to go. With all GM parts - manifold I'm running mid 13s. After GMP manifold and some good drag radials I'm hoping to be in the high 12s. Good luck man, its good to keep your warinty!

P.S. Not sure why but I'm boosting over 15 psi with Stage II and GMP bolt ons....

 

there is no way you will hit 12's with stage 2 and bolt ons

 

Actually, I didnt steal it, you can see many other graphics I have made at my myspace www.myspace.com/kyleusaf. I have been doing photoshop for almost 5 years. And I just asked a question, sorry I'm not as smart w/ internals as you are but you dont have to be a dick.

 

ya well what are your plans for the car and how much are you willing to spend?

 

Prolly gonna go stage 2 w/ a new exhaust, headers and CAI. Just do 1 or 2 mods at a time. Being in the Military and trying to support a family doesnt bode well financially.

 

ya i feel ya how about the TAG stage 1? or 2?

 

It doesnt keep factory warranty does it? also, how much HP does it produce and what does it take the boost to.

 

Umm... how high are you boosting on Stage 2? With my mods I'm seeing right at 15PSI... maybe a half a pound over if its cold out. If you're boosting too much over that it could be a sign of bad things to come.

 

no it doesnt im not sure , but check out their website www.tagracecraft.com

 

only way to keep warranty is to go with all GM stuff, and thats excluding their stage 3

 

cold can u link me to GM stage 3....I've heard about it but never seen it.

 

imo GM stage 3 is not going to be worth it unless you start running nitrous.

To answer your question, it's not really about safe boost, but how small of a pulley setup you run. you can go to a 2.5" pulley somewhat safely with 60lb injectors. for a GM Stage II kit, you can drop to a 2.9" pulley safely.

 

I've heard debates on that though, I am going to take it down to the stage three pulley first.

BTW: Stage 2 pulley = 3.1"(79mm) Stage 3 = 3.0"(76mm)

Link to stage 3 in gm catalog. along with stage 1 and 2 info

 

Oh wow, no way would I get the stage 3 after reading that. Thanks for the link. I'll be going stage 2

 

with stage 2 you might want more.. so then all you have left is some GMPP bolt ons.. like header d/p, i dont even know if there is an intake, catback, maybe an underdrive pulley?
but thats not a whole lot of power there. thats really just support for stage 2

 

i raced a cobalt with a stage 3 i only have a stage 2 with intake and it was dead even but i have driver mod

 

I will prove you wrong along with everyone else. You can even inspect my car if you want.

Good choice.
