I "kist" a camel the other day.
My momma "kist" me goodbye before I went off to school.
Just kidding with you Shermen. We all make spelling and typing mistakes. No one's perfect.
Thanks for the link.
It's about itme GM. But they still list them as "coming soon". We already knew that. But it wasn't soon enough.
I already have the Intense "kist" I mean kit.

A buddy of mine works for a chevrolet dealership here in the next town. I just happen to ask him if we have prices on the kits yet. He looked up the stage 2 part number for me and said his dealership has it listed as $750.00 with an install time of 1.5 hours with no release date yet. Im not sure if anyone knows this yet but thought id share it!

U might as well run the pulley now....it would have the same leaning out effect as it is.
without the stage 2 reflash ur injectors and computer wont know what to do withall the extra fuel and air ratio.....cmon now.

Stage 1 adds revised fuel injectors and new engine calibration to pick up another 20 hp; Stage 2 increases boost via a smaller supercharger pulley (along with another engine recalibration job) to amp up the torque by about 20 lb-ft. The packages can be readily installed by the owner. Pricing will be announced in November at the Specialty Equipment Market Association show in Las Vegas.

I can't imagine it's the same calibration for both stages.
Otherwise no one would buy stage 2 from GM. In the beginning it seemed like they were the same calibration for both stages but I am starting to believe it's not from the lastest descriptions.

Stage II all the way! And that'll be all i do to my car. Well, maybe I'll lower it too. but that's it. this is the first car I've owned that I'm pretty much satisfied with with minimal mods.
