yea..everyone will say if you have someone to tune it then make your own...its cheaper and the tune is better...but if you don't have someone to tune it or you cant afford it an jus need a canned tune then get one of the kits....<if you do that i recommend ZZP kits FTW...cheap and same great products with a better tune

yea i did...cuz for the price of a GM Stage 2 you ad 75$ to that and you have 60lb injectors a adjustable tensioner and a slightly better tune and a smaller pulley...can't beat that for 75$ more...all depends if you have someone to do the tune or not

you could pull that off. Unless you have the money for forged internals and the labor i would not get another kit becuase theres a chance the car could blow.
