Since I'm really new to the 2.0 forums I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask this question. My car has about 800 miles on it and I already want to do the gm stage II upgrade on it. How long should I wait or would it be ok to do around 1.5k miles? Is that to soon?

 

U can do it when ever just dont drive it hard till like 1500 miles

 

ya I just know I want to do this before I get too busy or caught up with other expenses. Do it while the gettin's good still.

 

Better check with ur dealership to see if they will still cover you under warranty after you have the stage 2 put on cuz some dealership I've talked to said yes and some say no. Kind of messed up I know but besure u find out b4 hand.

 

my car was tuned the 2nd day i had it and 2.5 pullied in a month

 

Damn u dont screw around

 

nope, and its funny becuase everyone thinks you will blow your car or something bad will happen and i have never had one problem with the car at all and i am pushing some serious numbers with it

 

All that realy matter is that u have a good tune I had a 2.5 with the Intense Tune and melted number 4 piston. I currently have a 2.7 with my tune 3" catless air box mod, 60 lbs, and dual pass with no problems, acctually wanting to find a 2.6 ring 4 cheap

 

Ya I'm just wanting something simple to start out with like this package. Get a feel for the car before I go custom.

 

yeah canned tunes suck and alot of people blow becuase they beat the **** out of here cars. Like back to back high speed runs

 

I would stay with the GM upgrades if u want to keep the warranty, also u might want to go stage 3 instead of 2 so u dont have to upgrade later. u'll still have to get the injectors though

 

or just no someone that works at the dealer and your always under warranty

 

Am I gonna need cooling mods with the stage III?

 

yeah i hear ya there. know all i realy want to do is heat exchanger, clutch, and a 2.6 till i get a snout or snout machin tool again

 

i got some plans ...........

 

just colder plugs should do just fine. if u have the extra cash u can get the gm dual pass so ur still under warranty

 

dual pass with optionb for the plumbing then a dual pass h/e and you will be sitting pretty

 

i have a spair block for someone with plans lol

the gm moddes will take u pretty far.

 

perhaps i havea spare head and perhaps i have some cams laying around and perhaps i have a extra intake manifold laying around and perhaps i have a ls4 tb and perhaps a spare blower all laying next to some porting materials and perhaps a 3" intake aswell

 

perhaps lol DAMN U DONT PLAY

 

yeah not really maybe when a realiable twinscrew comes out i might jump on it but i don't like what i see

 

I have spare everything, but I think my stepdad might notice somethins missin when his car doesn't start

 

haha yeah i have a lot of spare parts to

 

Well good info all around, not too familiar on the differences between stage 2 and 3, parts, gains, price, ect...

 

stage 2 is 42.5 pound inj 3.06 pulley retune with 7k rl and more timing stage 3 is 2.99 pulley adjustable rl to 8k if you want, the option toruna 50 shot of juice and thats about it
