Just ordered a 2007 SS/SC. Didn't order any aftermarket parts with it, but plan on adding somethings after I get. I know there's a LONG thread on here for the stage kits, but just want to get a quick answer... Are these stage kits something you have to install in order, or could I just buy Stage 2 and not bother with 1? Also I heard there's a Stage 3 but didn't see anything about it on GM's website. Anyone know anything about it? Thanks!

 

You could use the search button bro. Lots of info around the thread on this. =) But yes, you can go to stage 2. Stage 3 supposedly voids warranty.

 

The dealer can install it for you and will warranty the work (just like any other installation).

The Stage 2 kit includes a smaller pulley, injectors & a new reflash. If you install it yourself, I'd imagine you'd have to just show proof you bought the stage 2 setup through a receipt or something and they will give you the stage 2 reflash via Tech 2.

There is a Stage 3, it just came to light. Read this for more info: http://www.ecotecforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3155

 

Yeah, as I get more time I'm gonna read through these threads. Thanks!

 

yeah search button

 

Oo, no air conditioning for stage 3! lol

 

search button sucks. you can just install the stage 2 kit and not worry about 1, as longs as its not the 1 to 2 kit. make sure it has injectors with it. you have to have the stage 2 to do stage 3 though. stage 3 is a smaller pulley, new pcm with 2 modes. normal mode is like stage 2, the other mode allows you to run 110 octane gas, turns off your a/c, and some other crap that i cant remember

 

(*cough* 100 octaine) to make it more simple, stage 2 consists of all the stage 1 parts. and stage 3 is an additional setup that requires stage 2 before installation.

 

Uh, something about ecm mode set in stage 3 for nitro shot also.

 

stage 2 dont bother with stage 1 and i read stage 3 was intended for offroad use only

 

Nice fbody btw..

 

You can go right to a stage II kit, which is what I did. I think there is a stage III but not sure what goes into it...
