Stage Ii
So My Question Is This, Can I Install The Gm Stage Ii Myself Then Take It To The Dealer To Do The Reporgraming Of The Ecu?
Also If I Were To Install It On A Weekend When The Dealership Is Closed Is It Safe To Drive Without The Reprograming?
Basically What It Boils Down To Is This... If I Were To Install It Myself Can I Drive The Car Till I Take It To The Dealer To Have The Ecu Reprogramed Or No?

Not a good idea at all. You can install it home and take it very easy driving to the dealership but don't install it when they are closed and go drive it around for 2 days. The trip from home to the dealership taking it easy is OK. You will be running very lean before you get reflashed. Lean = Not Good!

Thats What I Figured Would Be The Outcome. I Just Wanted To Here It From The Experts Before I Went Ahead And Did It. Thats Why This Site Is So Helpful!

Getting the pulley on was the most time consuming part of the install. I put my pulley on and drove the car for a few days. I just stayed out of the extra boost the new pulley gives you. I installed the injectors just prior to taking car in for the reflash.

Yeah i kind of figured I would that was the main purpose at first was to keep the warranty but now I am toying with the idea of water/meth injection which will void the warranty anyways
