I looking to put a stage 2 kit on my ss. I was just wondering how much of a difference it makes and how long it took gm to install it? Thanks

 

Welcome, you're the first one to ask, anyone know? I don't think this has ever come up before!

 

 

my local dealer quoted $650 installed price and only 1 day to do it. they have not installed any other kits. I think I will drive to a dealer that has done them before. I hear that the final tune is the key to it performing corectly.

 

haha just answer his question lol

my friend Ross got it for 287 +tax Pm him Billigss/sc

 

Hey why not be a dick maybe?


Expect around 235-245whp People have yielded better results after a tune or change in pulley's If it's the dealers first time install expect it to take a bit, and be sure to get your stock parts back, as well as the hex tool for the pulley.

 

costed me about $650 also took them 1 full day and they gave me a rentacar on them. but make sure the dealership knows these important facts:

1. your car IS and COMES supercharged
2. knows what a stage II kit is
3. whatever mods you have that are aftermarket you can hide them or disguise them so you keep your warranty. (if you care about it)

 

Don't worry about the smart asses . The difference from stock is a nice jump. One of the nicest things is that the shift from 1st to 2nd isn't as bad when you have a 7K rpm limiter. I did my own so as far as dealer time , it could vary . Average is 2.5 hours . Crate engine depot is having a sale on the right now , they are going to be the cheapest .

 

You will notice a big difference. I love it, Best $925 I ever spent.

 

I paid $176 for labor only, kit was $550..GM partec hotline says install time is 2 hrs, so you can tell your dealer not to overcharge you..If they quote you higher its because they probably havent done one and they don't want to lose money..Thats not your problem though so dont let them screw you

 

519 at CED now , good deal

Buter, I see you are from PA. Tom Oates Chevy in Lionville has done a few of these installs and I would give them a try.
