THANKS YOU lol finally.....**** i dont know whether to go stage 3 with dry shot or have lsjwannabe tune my car for 2.7 and 60's pry with a heat exchanger

 

Gm dosent mention anything about spark plugs?

 

RoelSS what kinda times are you rolling in with your mods in your sig?

 

No they don't. Actually had a set of Autolites, the ones that are recommended, took them out, caused more problems no matter what gap I set them at. Reinstalled stock plugs at 35 thousanths gap, runs smoother.

 

thanks alot...
I guess I'll just buy everything seperatly... i think the stage 2 injectors are 42.5 so i'm gonna get them from crateengine w/ injector harness, along with the stage 2 hub and bolts, belt, and the stage3 pulley oh can't forget the stage 3 ecu.. thats the most important... Its actually cheaper to get everything separate then it is all together.. hmmm

 

I'm personally going Stg 3 with spray. To me adding a smaller pully is going to wear your engine all the time. N20 is going to run you when you really need it to go that fast, but for day to day, stage 2 gets you up an onramp like a bat out of hell anyway.

Having the stage 3 pcm protecting your engine during the shot is good too.

 

Haven't gone to the track yet. I have a pair of BFG drag radials on ion redline 17's awaiting for the occasion. You can kiss traction goodbye even on a 40mph roll on spray!! I have raced a new BMW Z4 M Roadster and beat him good from a 30mph roll in 2nd gear.

Best Wins:
1. 07 BMW Z4 M3 Stock, 30mph roll to 120 I win by 2-3 car lenghts
2. 05 Mustang GT Stock, 60mph to 120, I win by 4 cars
3. 03 Mustang GT Intake, Exhaust, tunned, 60mph to 120, I win by 1 car ( I didn't use NO2 I was out that day!)
4. 06 Charger SRT8, dead even, from 40mph, I jumped the gun by one car, and it stayed like that to 100mph, then we let off. I didn't squeeze, my bottle was OFF!

Losses:
My brothers 98 Z28 6sp, 345WHP, 40mph roll, I lost by 3 cars. I was on his tail till about 100, then that LS! just pulled like a rocket! (Yes I was on the bottle)
Mods: BBK SSI intake, Full SLP Intake, Port & Polished Throttle Body, Mass Air Meter, Catback, SLP Lightweight Flywheel and Dyno tuned by Haddad Motorsporst.

I agree. If something goes wrong, it stops spraying. Which is good. Like I said, on spray, it builds about 19~20lbs of boost and sounds freakin' awsome

 

The only problem with Stage 3 and N20 is it is kinda the stopping point. Most stuff is cost prohibitive at that point so it should prolly be on to the buy a faster car mod anyway though.

 

True... If the cobalt works out for me and everything i may even upgrade internals in order to rev to 8,000... that'd be sweet.

a cobalt capable of runing in the 12's is good enough for me.

 

Yeah, it is good enough to get the W....T....F..... out of most people when they are a bus behind.

 

safe well i dunno, will it work? i will let you know in a matter of days...

 

please do!

 

What plugs are you stage 3 guys running? I have stock, 1 step colder copper, and irrdium 2 step colder and next week im running stage 3 and just wanted to know what works.

 

I switched back to the stock plugs!

 

Ok good thing I saved them. How do you like your setup NJBLUESS?

 

Very pleased with it. Runs very smooth with enough power for my needs. Pulls as good if not better than my STG2 w/2.8. Others that have riden in my car are looking into the same setup.

 

did you try to put in the 1 step colder plugs?? do you have any knock with the stock plugs?

Wow... there seems to be alot more people with the stage 3 that i thought... or at least looking into getting it

another question...
since the 42.5 pound injectors are basically maxed out while on spray... is it possible to switch to 60lb injectors without any problems. do you have to tune for them??

 

I stated in a previous post, my drivebility suffered with the Autolites, regardless of the gap I set them to. Top end misfire was the most prevelant, (poof around 6700rpm) and some excelleration stumble. Switched back to stock plugs @ .35 and been fine ever since. I have watched knock retard on a Tech2, and saw none, also monitored IDC and IAT2 readings. IDC's were high, but not maxed. IAT2 peaked @120 degrees. I have total confidence in the Stage3 setup and pay no attention to monitoring it. A friend and customer of mine that previously owned a Cobalt, installed 60# injectors w/2.79 pulley and ended up with more problems than with the 42's. "This was also with being dyno tuned by a realiable tuner."
IMO, stick with the full Stage 3 setup as per instructions without modifications. Some will disagree, but I am yet to see a problem with Stage2 or 3.

 

alright i guess i'll take ur word for it thanks

 

He is right. I'm running stock plugs with no problems. Don't change pulleys or injectors, just stick with GM. After all, if they built it, they must know it best.

 

so what dry kit do you have NJBLUESS

 

Sorry, I'm not running nitrous.

 

how fast is a stg3 balt and what requires to be stg 3?

 

We are refering to GM's Stage3, the parts in ( ) in my sig. As far as how fast?, not sure what is ment. Accel time?, 0-60, 1/4 mile? I don't race in straight lines, never timed myself that way with my current setup.

 

UPDATED!!
I'm new to the whole nitrous thing but since I've got my 2.99 pulley, my 42.5 injectors, and my stage 2 belt all i need is the stage 3 ecu and im ready for the install. However, I guess i should wait until i get a full exhaust to install it but o well... My question is since im new to nitrous [B]Well basically how does the stage 3 work the nitrous. Is it basically a one switch deal where it'll spray it as long as its"
rpms>3500
rpms<500 from rev limit
No engine codes
Throttle pos.>90%
So does this means when the switch is own it'll spray it when ever all those parimeters are met or does it use a button for the injection??
Thanks for any input.

bump

I'm not giving up... someone please help
