Just picked up a Stage 2 kit and have a few questions. First off i am going to have either holz do it and just pay or have my mechanic do it for free. My question is will the car learn (adapt) to the stage 2 kit or do i still have to GM flash the ECU? I'm very new to upgrading a vehicle/performance parts is there anything one should know before and after installation? Thanks for any information.


p.s. and yes i used the search button but didnt see anything pertaining to these questions.

 

yes u have to get the reflash....

also if your worried about warranty....have a dealership install it...if not its only warranted for 90 days

 

1. You're required to go to GM for a flash (about $100)
2. If a private mechanic does it, any problems that might arise from the installation or any parts effected by a faulty installation are not covered by the dealer

For me, I paid $400 and had the dealer install it (peace of mind and entire job fully warrantied by dealer)

 

i paid 248 really anything over 250 is to high....if u check my threads ive made a few about stage 2

 

excellent! thank you for such quick info. thats why is the best. holz quoted me at 192.50 for install so i think ill just have them do it....thanks again everyone

 

woahhh idk bout that man cuz reflash is gona be around 100 so ud be getting ripped off

and u wouldnt have a warranty on it.....if that matters

 

Yah I got mine installed at the dealership so if something goes wrong they have nobody to blame it on.

 

Need Stage 2 flash from dealership

 

Take it to GM.
