Chevy was smart on this call ...Stage 2 really should have been part of the SS/SC from the start but leaving it off from the factory helps insurance rates...
I'll say it now...EVERY SS/SC needs at least Stage 2!

I thought I caught a glimpse of your car, but wasn't too sure. I was just tired, trying to study, and a little angry because I got rear ended on the way there. It was only a little tap @ like 5mph, but it left a dent I didn't notice until later.

its not perfect because chev engineers know that canned tunes arent exact for every single vehicle.
They know every engine is different, and some of us drive up north at 5000ft altitude, in -40 winters, stock....
and some drive in the dry arizona desert at 120 degrees, with intake, header, dp, exhaust.
So knowing that, they made a very conservative, SAFE tune, so that we can all keep our warranty.
you cant expect a perfect smokin fast tune for something with so many broad applications, that has to conceivably keep your engine safe for 100k miles.

That'd be mine. I knew there was supposed to be another car getting the stage 2 because when I pulled in, they asked me if I was someone else.

Well I got my stg2 for 470 shipped and paid about 160 for install after tax and everything. I only got it put in about a week ago so I am still getting broken into it, it is nice though.
