the staged kits are not an easy install for 1 person let alone 2. Me and a friend just did one for a buddy that came from CT to have us do it. It's something you can do in a day, but don't rush it. Patience is key!

Intense performance has really good stage kits and can tunes. ZZP is a great place to buy from!! never had a problem with either. i did get my stage kit from OTTP. i would never go to them again. STAY AWAY FROM OTTP!!!!

and as far as an install i needed 3 ppl to help me with the belt. all of them were my car buddies. everything for me was easy except getting the pulley off. i gave it to a shop and they took it off for $47. i know pricey but they were the only one in my town with a press. and then the belt was a bitch to get back on. other than that i would recommend to just take ur time with the fuel rail and injectors. if u start to get mad just set it down and come back later. but what i learned is to never get angry and work on a machine. things just go down hill to fast. good luck!!!!

INTENSE-Racing.com - Pontiac G8, Grand Prix, Bonneville, Regal, L67 3800 Supercharged Performance Products, Mods and Tunes.

if u look at the tool bar on the left side there is a section for cobalts "lsj" and there are some parts and kits you can get from them
