Hello, I just had a few Q's I'd want answered if possible

1. So, How much worse is the GM Stage 2 kit compared to the OTTP and ZZP, My dad loves that fact that GM actually installs it(Technically car's under his name, buts its my car and he pays for my gas/insurance so yeah haha i'd like to please him.) and said he would pay the Labor fees, so all I'd have to do it pay for the parts, I'm pretty basic when it comes to cars, I can install the easy stuff I/H/E basically, but I've never taken apart a blower or done anything computer related to a car, so the GM warranty would be a nice thing to have

2. Are there any other gold rims that look good on our cars? There was a red cobalt in the wheels thread that had Gold enkei evo 5's that looked bad ass on it but my friend said they're discontinued

3. Do intakes mess up the A/F ratios for TC's AND SC's? I've seen people talking about it with TC's but never noticed any SC people discuss it, and if so, does the GMS2 kit help it at all, or its meant for stock

4. My goal for my original car was to have to wear a helmet at the track, 13.99 and under, Mid to low 13's would be even better. is this realistically attainable with Stage 2, intake header exhaust and possibly slicks (puts on flame suit just incase)

Uhh..thats all for now

 

1. Gm stage 2 is weak but if your worried about your warranty it's your only option.

2. Find a wheel you like and paint/powder coat it.

3. Depends on many factors.

4. You should be close to that stock.

 

GM Stage 2 is not worse or better than the OTTP or ZZP Stage Kits. It all depends on what you are looking for.

All intakes for the SS/SC generally net you 8-10whp. Some are better than others, and some will screw with your MAF sensor. AEM, K&N, and Injen are the most popular intakes, and are of high quality. There are also some nice 3" intakes from some of the vendors on here.

GM Stage 2 will dip you into high 13's if you can drive. An average driver will usually see low 14's. Do not listen to the post above .... GM Stage 2 is not weak. There are more powerful Stage Kit options out there, but GM Stage 2 will still give you a decent bump in power (235 whp avg).

If you are worried about your warrenty then just have the GM Stage 2 kit installed, get a K&N drop in air filter, and call it a day.

 

Thanks for the answers, Let me clarify, my car doesn't have a warranty on it, but I heard the GM Stage2 has its own separate warranty for 100k miles?
