okay so i was looking at stage 2 and all the kits i found are really expensive if you buy it as a kit. so what my question is... can you buy the pulley, belt, injectors seperate and have them installed? what else do i need?

car is stock except aem intake, should i get other upgrades before i go to stage 2 or am i fine?

 

yes u can..u need a tune and spark plugs

 

I dont mean to knock into this post but what plugs is everyone going with for the stage 2? I just got mine installed yesterday. Go with some NGK's or something else? Thanks

 

so if i can get the pulley, belt, hub, injectors, and spark plugs from intense for a good price, where can i get a tune? does it have to be done by a dealership?

sorry for the questions if they are being reposted but i couldnt find anything to help me on this topic.

thanks for the time!!!

 

yes ngks

u will need a local tuner

 

where can I find one? And how much for a tune?

where can I find one? How much?

 

just go with the gm stage II from Crate engine depot. Put it on yourself and take it to the dealer for the reflash. Full warranty and lots more power. Then if you really want to spend money get water meth and a dyno tune.

 

I got my stage 2 from createengedepot and then some colder plugs, and it ran strong, Ran with a 5.7 GTO from a 20mph roll in first to about 80 when we shut down.

 

So we can install the Stage 2 ourselves and just take it to the Dealership for a reflash? Does it void the Warranty if we install ourselves?

 

Okay will it run okay without a reflash? How much is it to have that done?

 

gap?

 

no it wont, the pcm needs the be recalibrated for the larger injectors. just dropping a bigger injector in will cause it to run very rich and set codes.

iirc, you need the card with the reflash number that comes in the stage kit to get the dealer do the reflash. no card, no flash.

 

for it to be covered by warranty, it must be installed by a gm techy.

 

yes pretty much, my install was 315 and I paid 550 for the kit plus tax from crateenginedepot.com

 

try crate engines very good price for the stage 2 550$ thats were am getting mine

 

Also where i plan on getting my stg 2 from

 

okay so ill be fine if i just buy all the parts and have a dealer install and do reflash? i wanna buy different parts not a kit so ill just have to do that then right?

another question... where can i find a good decent priced 3" cat-back?

 

i'm going to order mine this coming spring and getting it installed for 137 dollars by a top tech (dealer ship cost install) so i guess i'm pretty lucky for working at dealership
