The stage 2 kit consists of a four bolt pulley, 42 lb injector's, A shorter belt and a tune! Check the S/C pulley if you see four bolts it's a staged/aftermarket pulley, also the color of the injector's will identify them but im not sure which are which in that dept as it's been awhile! Easy way to find out is try to rev to 7K(some late GMPP stage tuned brought it back to 6500) and see if your boost goes to 15 psi! Stock is 12.5 and the stock pulley has only one bolt through the center of it! Good luck happy modding!

haha thanks dude!


I got a lot of cleaning the paint feels like its never been washed cause its no where near smooth or even has a good shine to it.

Single bolt pulley and green injectors! so car is STOCK!
