trying to figure out which stage 2 to get for my 07 ss/sc.... OTTP, ZZP, or GMPP?
Does one have more to offer than the other and how do i choose which options to get with the package? All u fellas with stage 2 ur input is greatly appreciated

 

i have gm stage 2 with 2.9 pulley and i love it lol

 

All on preference. I bought from ZZP, because of their reputation. Some things ive seen lately about OTTP havent really made me thrilled to order from them. I am NOT bad-mouthing them, great company im sure...

GMPP will provide the least gains, but you will still be covered by your warranty if you still have it.

Also, i feel ZZP's Stage 3 is better than OTTPs stage 2...Bigger H/E

 

thanks for the input. my warrenty is expiring in nov so thats not an issue. Ive decided on a cai, header, dp and catback but not sure on the stage 2. my plan is to get this all installed within the end of august; bday gift for myself but not sure about all the options on the stage 2

i.e. pulley tensioner or shorter belt, size injectors, pulley size and is a h/e needed for these mods or do i need a wideband?

 

With that many mods, I'd get a wideband to. I have GM stage 2 and don't have one but before I add any other mods, I'm buying one.

 

I had GM Stage 2 Not Too Long Ago & Recently Upgraded To OTTP Stage 2 With All The Mods You See In My Signature...The Difference Is Remarkable & As Long As You Do It Right & Get Enough Supporting Mods U'll Be Golded, Whatever You Decide To Get, Just Get A Custom Tooon Tailored To Your Car If Possible !!!

 

when u say supporting mods, what do u recommend? do i need to worry about cooling things down with these mods?

 

i have the OTTP stage 2

i was ******* around the other day in my car playing with my new REV app on my iphone with the kiwi obdII port thing. in the 3 pulls i did to get a 0-60 reading i pulled a 5.75 as my best 0-60. i suck at driving so im sure someone with some skills could probably get it to around 5.5 seconds. its decently fast.

 

ive had gm stage 2, intake and full exhaust since my car was a month and a half old. maybe 1500-2k on it. im now at 24k and im happy with it (for now). my warranty is up in sept and im thinkin bout steppin **** up

 

how bad was it to install the stage 2 i have it sitting here but dont know if i can just install everything and just go with it or if i have to do anything special with it

 

i actually had a local tuner up here install it. i helped but he did 95%of the work. it didnt take him long but it was a bitch getting the pulley alligned properly. the injectors and the spark plugs were easier. im sure it wouldnt be that hard to do if we did it in summer but we installed it on a day where it was -43°C and ya... it was cold haha and we didnt press the pulley off or on. we just used a pulley puller and then torched the **** outta hub and stuck the blower outside in the cold for like half an hour. it then just took a little effort to line it up perfectly so the belt would fit right.

 

what did you use to line up the pully?

 

I'm not trying to be a smartass but i would highly recommend the mods in my signature, or something similar, u don't have to get the same brands, but its good if you get a dual pass setup for better cooling with option b to better bleed the air in your intercooler system, a secondary heat exchanger will help you keep the power that you're making longer and will assist with preventing heatsoaking which will make your car pull timing " get less power than what you started with. A full exhaust will assist with better flow for the exhaust gases, start with the header and work your way back. The tune is really important, make sure you have somebody that knows what they're doing, canned tunes are good to get you going, its pretty safe, but you're not going to be getting the full potential...Those are basic mods that i went with personally and the car runs fabulous...

Extra mods down the road if you wanted to :

* Methanol Injection " Run Cooler, Higher timing, pretty much more power "
* Port & Polish The Head " One of the most effective mod's for our cars ! you gain a lot of power of this "
* Nitrous " I wouldn't thou, not a big fan "

 

thanks for the help!!!

 

i have GM stage 2. its great. i hit 0-60 in like 5.4 seconds with CAI 15psi

 

any recommendations on a wideband?

 

I personally use an AEM wideband and its pretty accurate ! there's a lot of options out there as well ! like autometer and one of my personal favorites is a the glowshift wideband, its cheaper than the AEM and looks better In my opinion, and it still performs as good I had it on my older car but went with the AEM coz i got a pretty darn good deal on it
