So I would need to buy stage 2, stage 3, an exhaust, neutral balance shafts, high speed valve springs, and nitrous to reach the full potential of stage 3....

 

also the surge tank and 15 psi cap, plus all the fittings, hoses, clamps ect that does not come with this kit.

 

EVERYONE READ THIS!!!!

your all asking questions that are explained here.

 

so does it disable the A/C????? I read it.


So what kinda damage am I looking at here $2,500 for everything to do this right.

 

umm arent you guys forgeting the there are controls in hptuners to disable your a/c. So all you'd have to do is hook hptuners up to it and enable the a/c again...

 

wet or dry shot? and can i run this without swapping pistons? thanks

 

i wonder if where ever gonna push the 300hp mark with out nitrous..i kinda disappointed with the kit only being able get to 260hp all motor..but that adjustable revlimit is cool

 

there are plenty of people reaching that number. you just gotta get **** done correctly. it isnt so much money that is holding anyone back. its mostly availability of performance parts

 

is that a GM document, or from CED?

this is actually looking kind of interesting. It's growin on me

 

to be honest it isn't a bad setup ... plug the custom computer when your going to the track then unplug it when you get back and keep warrenty ... at least thats the way it should work but whatever. plus when warrenty is gone add some juice to the mix and your over 300hp when you need it

 

they could at least include the tee for the dual pass in the kit I just priced one out today and my cost is $1260 Canadian.That is quite a bit for a pulley,Pcm and a dual pass plate.
I am sure a custom tune could do the same.

 

Do you have to run the dual pass if you run this stage 3 pcm?

There isn't something in the software that would make it necessary to run the dual pass right?

 

no but u Why wouldn't u want the dual bypass

 

Well because I would rather just buy the PCM for $325.00 and just install a biger heat exchanger. I already have a 2.9" pulley so this tune would be perfect for me. All I need is the PCM. Better than spending over $700.00 for the whole thing when I only need the PCM.

 

What else do you need to install the dual pass?

 

You need the plate and eveything in this link.

Anything else?
Where does the Surge tank mount?

 

Right here.

 

you have to fab up soem brakets for it.

 

that sux, thats where my water/meth kit will go.

 

but still with a big Heat Exchanger and the Dual Pass ur cooling system will work that much better. Still don't see Y u wouldn't want it

 

Do you think we really need to replace the o-ring seals on the endplate? I was gonna try to reuse mine when I modify my original endplate.

 

I would just to make sure.. they are only 20 and 30 dollars.. u might as well



and as far as switching between HOM and regular mode i think going through the DIC to change it would be a pain in the ass.. I would rather have a seperate controller like the Turbotoys on the SRT-4 that has a specific button for HOM. Unless GM made it where u hit the "i" button or return button a couple times or something

 

so with the nitrous.. are the stock plugs good, or do we need to swap those out? so i guess this motor can handle alot more power then most people think... with the 8k redline and the 50 shot.. i'm starting to wonder if the people who have blown up did so because of custom tunes.. by the sounds of this stage 3 pcm.. everything should be tuned just right for the 100 octane and nitrous.. should be able to push over 300hp easliy with that setup.

 

now i don't get the 260hp with 100 octane gas, who is driiving around on 100 octane and if thats all i'm getting is 15 more horsepower. where the heck do you get 100 octane or 93 for that matter they don't sell it around here!

PS Not impressed with stage 3
