Stage 2 questions

hi all. Got some simple questions on the stage two kit for the sc cobalt.

1. Are these cars reliable with the stage two ? Anything break alot. Any issues ?

2. Is the stage two a bolt up no hassel kit ? I am going to be putting on a aem intake as well, with the re-flash will i need any more tuning ? Or am i pretty set ? I dont want to mess with custom tuning and all. Does the kit come with a good program ?

Thumbs up

The stage 2 kit is very reliable. I have had no problems with it. I would suggest having the dealership put it on. If they do it, it will be under warranty and they will replace anything if there is a problem. They will also tune and reflash it so there are no problems. I see you are from independence mo. I am from st. joe mo. I went to cabledahmer and had them install mine. call up there and ask for chris pinney. They installed mine for $215.

Oh yeah, you don't have to worry about tuning anything with the intake system. Although some intakes cause check engine lights to come on. I have the k and N and have had no problems. If you need more help on this you can search other posts and there is a lot more info. out there about this.

No problems with GM Stage 2... it's GM warrantied... just have your dealer put it on... if anything ever does go wrong... piece of cake to fix.

Stage 2 is easy to install, but only if you have the right tools. You will need either a press or one of the supercharger pulley removal tools from one of our supporting vendors, to safely remove the stock pulley. I used a press to remove the pulley and a bolt with some nuts and washers to install the GM Hub. The rest can be easily done. Obviously you'll need a dealership to reprogram the PCM.

I have had no problems at all since my stage 2 upgrade. Look at my signature for warranty friendly mods.
