the gm stg 2 you can probably find for like 500 and if you go with a custom stg 2, then itll probably be cheaper. youre probably better off getting a custom stg 2 unless you wanna keep your warranty

 

So it's saying you're going to get 245 HP after installing this? Is this with or without a tune?

 

thanks dude

 

With tune.

 

ya i wanted to try and find it from gm so i keep my warrenty but my dad has a shop and gets parts at whole sale so i would be able to get a discount on it if i buy it through gm

 

What would approx. HP be without the tune? Or will the dealership tune for you?

 

You need the tune or you'll most likely go boom. From what I understand, you can have it intalled at a dealership and tuned there. You could also do the conversion yourself and have an appointment set-up with the dealership for the tune which I believe has it's own part# that you should get with the kit. Or you can install the kit yourself and tune it yourself with a Tech II or III, don't remember which, if you can get a hold of one.

 

you have to tune your car when you install the stg 2

 

Hmm...I haven't really thought of going Stage 2. From what I read at the dealership, it only gave like 15 more HP...but I think I thought that because the tech. working on my car said I already had 230 HP. So in a nutshell, I spend the $$ to get this kit, and I'll be at 245HP, and tuned? All that's included?

 

You'll love it!! I do, getting custom tune tho soon.

 

245bhp. Around 230whp. It should be good for putting this car in the high 13s. Stage 2 only. Add a nice exhaust and maybe a CAI and mid 13s are for real.

 

Did you not get it tuned through the dealership? Or you did, but you just want to get another?

 

haha you might not get exactly 245 hp out of the stg 2 but you get new injectors(42#) which allow you to go with a smaller pulley. and smaller pulley means more hp. and as far as the tune goes its just a canned tune, if you get a custom tune youll be able to pull better numbers than the gm can tune. and to answer your question yes its all included but they might charge you at the dealership for installation.

 

Oh they will charge. I wish they would install for free.

 

haha make a friend at the dealership! then maybe you might get it for free

 

Lol...I figured they would charge. It's nothing I would do...well I would do it if I had $500 laying around...but if I had that kind of money, I would do a custom setup.

 

i got mine for $200, people are always selling the parts you need to go stg 2.

 

I try, they're so mean to me.

 

lmao yea most of them are ********... at least where im from.

 

In no way am I saying you can't get it cheaper. I listed a site where you can get it for about $150 less then most prices advertised brand new.

 

find someone with a Hp tuners and copy your stock tune so you can flash it back to take it back for warranty work.

 

dealship said part would be $550 and install, parts and tune would run a total of $945.

 

find another dealer, install should be no more than 150.
