Should I wait?

Ok so im trying to decide on this so i need some input...i could order a PsiFi kit online for around $550, or i could wait till spring to order one from GM. They both put out the same power but i dunno which is the better buy. Thanks

I would wait. Not sure if the performance from the GM kits will be all that good or not but you will hopefully know in a few days. The SEMA show is Nov 1st-4th. Just wait a bit then decide.

Without any Gm engine management. I would focus on Cams and headwork.

How do you know that they put out the same power? Personally, I wouldn't do anything until I knew exactly how much power the GM upgrades put out, and how much they cost. I'm gonna take a wild guess and say they're gonna be pretty expensive, though.

How does PsiFi = GM Stage kit?

Full tune plus injectors vs Piggy Back

the GM article said that the stage 2 would put out around 45 hp, the PsiFi would do that without injectors or n ECU flash. That just confused me. Im going to wait till after SEMA to make my decision.

id wait , why lose warrenty before you can have factory fun


i just hope the stage 1,2,3 dont come out like the 2.4 twin cam s/c did , took way to long

the s/c kit for the 2.2 eco's , is slowly headed that way


but hopefully there will be a decent answer at sema , for both the stage's and the 2.2 eco s/c

ill try and find out monday while im setting up out booth

A re-flash and pulley alone will add more than a PsiFi because it's a piggy back unit.

Does anyone here understand how a piggy back unit works?

I'd like to be wrong, but I wouldn't expect a single Staged upgrade to happen for at least 6 months after SEMA. Then if you have a Saturn it probably wont be included and depending on the success of the Stage 1, Stage 2 and 3 may never come out.
If GM bases the price on performance then it will be too expensive, but if they base the price on labor time; Hopefully it will be inexpensive enough to be worth it.
