Stage 1 install
Stage 1 install
Well my local service mananger tossed me the kit friday and said install these and come in for the flash monday morning 
So im wondering if there is anything special i should know before i start pulling the injectors . It looks like a simple swap , and i picked up some pertroluim jelly for the injector O-rings, anything else ? Thx

That will probably cover it. Someone else used a different lubricant on their injectors though. (Read on another thread.) However the PJ should work just fine. Just don't go beating the **** out of it until you get the flash...
Well stage one went without a hitch . I ended up paying 400+tax with reflash. I can tell a big difference in performance , also found out my ingalls etd wont stop the wheel hop even at the 10mm setting .
Trying to decide on the next piece, should it be a 2.8 or 2.9 pulley ,or just do the stage 2 upgrade . I just couldnt afford the whole stage 2 kit and install right now and wanted to get something done before winter .

Just order ZZPs hub system, or INTENSEs, and run a 2.8". I prersonally run a 2.9" for everyday driving, and INTENSE reccomends not going below a 2.9" w/42.5lb injectors....
(Also gonna need GM stage 2's belt, or a larger idler pulley)

My local GM dealer , id rather not say who on the open forum incase GM is really scanning these posts as it's been rumored . I dont know if it would cause any trouble for him or not .
cds00 , yep just stage one without the S/C hub . I'm pretty sure that im going to go with something like's in your sig . It just makes more sense to me to go the cheaper way cause it seems that GM will find a reason to void your warrenty anyway.
RedlineBrian , I really didnt expect stage1 to give me as much of a performance boost that it has , i figured it was just a stepping stone to a pulley change . Mine feels like a whole different car now , cant wait till a 2.9 pulley and 15+ psi .
I see you have a 2002 Z28 , i had a 95 with a 6speed , best ET was 13.65@106mph . I remember wanting a loudmouth exhaust bad after my brother got his for his 01 Z28 . I had a flowmaster exhaust with a cat delete pipe , it sounded good for single exhaust .
