Stage 2 Worth it?
Hey guys,
I've been reading some negative things lately about the Stage 2 kits and was wondering...does everyone with the kit encounter hesitation problems? I'm considering upgrading but am worried about stalling at stop lights, is it worth the trouble/money?

Stage II seems to be pretty tried and true according to the many who have it equipped. I haven't heard anything about any hesitation problems. While your at it, consider getting at least one step, if not two step colder copper plugs, and also a pulleyboys 2.8" pulley. (This is at least my long run plan, and a setup many are running with great results)

Ya im very happy with my S2. When i get on it i get a hesitation for a split second right below 3K. But i also have stock plugs and its been like 90+ degrees here with high humidity for the past 2 weeks. It actually feels like clutch slippage or belt slippage...

The stage 2 is definitely worth it, and for $100 more, the 2.8" pulley from PulleyBoys really opens things up. The car absolutely rips, and I still see 31+ mpg on the expressway.
Don't wait ... get it NOW! The sooner you get it, the longer you'll have to enjoy it.
