There are other things to consider. If you are under warranty and want to keep it go stage 2. If you arent get the ott stage 1 kit or just piece together your own. 60 lb injectors, 2.8 pulley, tune. did you really need to make three threads about this? lol
poor guy is gonna get really annoyed having to answer this same question 5 times a week! lol
i agree, if its under warrenty go with a gm stage 2 kit, if not skip that and go with the OTT stage 1 kit. the OTT kit will get you more power, and you wont end up wanting to replace everything later on. the only downfall is if you arent mechanicly inclined and cant install the kit yourself your going to have to find someone that can. thats one upside to the gm kit, you can drop the car off, come back pay the bill and your done.
Go with stage 2 if you still have a lot of warrenty left, if not then go for OTT stg.1, Also 1000 bucks is a little expensive... shop around cause there is more than one dealer who can do this for you!
Its not somethin to debate about dude..you and ur car will love stage 2
more hp,louder whine and boost..And it shouldnt cost that much..i bought stage 2 for my old ss/sc for $480 bux and i installed it myself then got it reflashed at chevy for $85
So just do it!!!!!

Maybe, I been thinking about it too. If stage II is really worth the money. Im not too mechanically inclined so i like my warranty..but one must wonder if the 700 is worth that you get. I hear nothing but positives about OTT stage 1, but my warranty wont be up till around 100k miles or 3 more years...by then to many miles to stage it I think.
I wonder...stage II or a .45...decisions decisions.
