My parts people here have talked to their gm rep. He told them " We are waiting on the kits from our manufacturer. I am told we will have them in feb. They are already a month behind"

I hope I'm not the only one tired of all the speculation with the stage kits...raised rev limiters, warranty coverage, power gains...we won't know anything for sure until they actually come out. Until then, I'll enjoy what I have sitting my garage.
Grrr..........

Rays kit is simple, safe and powerful. I'm pushin 15 sometimes 16 1/2 psi of boost. He is reprograming my power pack cel free. I originaly had psi-fi power pack. If you drive like me your clutch will get burned up from that extra boost off the jump. But I am also getting the stage 1 from gm and taking my powerpack off

i would rather go to straight stage 2, instead of dickin around with getting 1 then 2. the dealership is gonna install everything for me, cause if something goes wrong its their fault.

i brought this up in another thread and didn't get a answer, do we still get a warranty if we put it on our self,because installation is probably another 200-300 bucks.

I called the main parts guy at the dealership were I bought my SS and asked him talk to GM and find out how to get\do everything in the 300+hp build articles. The article talks about 7850 as the redline and I told the guy that all he has to do is tell me what to do\buy and I will do so. I am hoping this gets a response in a reasonably short manner.

The warrenty issue is still up for debate and is a much anticipated decsion. The way I see it is if you get it installed by the dealer everythings warrentied. This is what my dealer has told me.
