So after all the BS my stage 2 kit is finally on
After 2 visits to the dealer and lots of waiting, I'm happy to say that stage 2 is finally on.
First impressions:
Car runs much much smoother
1st gear... wow this gear is finally useful. 1st gear was always my biggest complaint about this car, it can now be revved out past 4-5k without getting insane wheelhop or sounding like its going to explode. Is this because they limited the boost in 1st gear or something?
2nd gear: seems to have more pull up high.... down low i dont feel much of a difference.
I havent boosted 15psi yet. Highest ive seen was 14. Could this have something to do with it being 95 degrees out? I'm looking foward to driving tonight when the air cools down a bit and seeing the difference.
By the way, the extra 500 rpms are so helpful, man is there some sick pull there.

Stage 2 is B.A. Supercharger instant torque, i wouldn't trade it for anything, RWD would be insane...Next cobalt i buy will have to be RWD, or I will have to get something else.

I think what he meant is that he can wind it out past 5000 without the wheels hopping like crazy... which is weird since I get massive hop if I punch it in first at ANY RPM.
But that's just the ricer ownage talking. Feather the throttle and first ain't so bad.
