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?

Get it, its well worth it, or get your own pulley, injectors, and get a hp tune, either is well worth it.

If you can get one, do it!! I love the performance, and it hasn't affected fuel economy yet. And it's backed by GM!!

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...

I think is a little over priced for what you get, but it is backed by GM if that is what you want.

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.
