stage 1 or 2??

ok so i can get a stage one for 150 and a stage 2 for 350. both used.

stage one has everything with it, even a hptuners gm stage 1 file. unknow mileage on stage one

stage 2 has everything EXCEPT the tune. has less than 2000 miles on it according to seller.

so what is everyones exprience? i know you get about 15 hp and 13 tq more with the stage 2. how much faster is the stage 2 over stage 1? i am just trying to find out if it is worth the extra $200 plus tune? i have someone with hp tuners and he will probably charge 50-100 for a tune.

lets hear the opinions!!!!!!

you don't need a tune if you already are going to have the stage one tune....the tunes are the same just add the pulley and belt and you have stage 2

You will... if you can find someone with hp tuners who will do it for a good price then go for it... youll have a more personal tune for your car, everything will be matched up to exactly what you have. Personally 350 plus 150 for a tune isnt that bad at all considering once you get the stage 2 hub, its only a matter of 50 dollars to get a smaller pulley... I found the stage 2 kit without the injectors for 50 bucks.... so you might wanna look around a little...
