does anyone else think that its very over priced for the little power gain? im still getting smoked by a chipped mk5 gti....ridiculous

 

stage 2 for the ss/sc? yeah they are. you shoulda pieced your own kit together for half the price.

 

mine was on it when I got it......score!

 

your getting smoked by a tuned GTI.

umm most stage 2 ss/sc would. dont those make like 260 to the wheels (gti chipped)

 

shouldn't be getting smoked by mk5's. they weigh like 3,350lbs.

 

I have never lost to one, but it's kind of a mystery to what my car had done to it before I had it, I keep finding things

 

3100 lbs. depending on the options obviously

 

no way that they get 260 to the wheels from just a chip, mk5's run 200 hp to the crank stock so lets say 185 hp to the wheels i dont think a chip gives them close to 80 whp. does anyone have a zz stage 3?

 

well tuning a LNF takes it from 240 whp to 300-320 whp. anything is possible.

 

i just dont see how gm can say the stage 2 kit gets u up to 235-240 whp....no way in hell

 

When I got my kit put on, I didn't think they did anything.

 

besides my psi guage saying 15 psi i wouldve thought they ripped me off and just said they did the upgrade

 

The blue bolts on the pully too.

 

Should have went with OTTP's stage 2. Much cheaper and more hp

 

^ thats what i'm doing if my money's right by the end of the month!!!

 

yup i made a 1000$ mistake with the gm kit.....gotta find somewhere in jersey that does a good tune hopefully i can get some more power out of it with that

 

With a good tune you'll definatly make more power

 

if you throw in a kit, don't do a gm one.. just get a ottp or zzp, its cheaper and the tuned pcm it comes with is better than the gm tune. After that I would get a custom tune done to it, which is what I did. I love it.

 

Bigsid: ME TOO... lol

 

speaking of which when do you want a good tune?

 

Tune Time Performance in Tom's River NJ does great work and they know what their doing when it comes to tuning.

 

does anyone know of a place around nothern nj or nyc that does good tunes??? i cant find any

just called tune time in toms river they told me 400$ for a dyno tune on my cobalt....is it worth it? or should i spend the 400 towards a zzp stage 3?

 

Already got my buddy kennyspec doing it for me. But thanks for the offer

 

going for the tune saturday morning...hopefully this thing makes me happy with the power gains...any way with the stage 2 kit that the tune puts me in the low 14's quarter mile?

 

i don't know about you guys but i have personally witnessed several gm stage 2 cars with intake, downpipe and cat-back lay down just over 250whp. thats pretty damn good for a car that keeps its warranty
