no prob. let me ask, do you still have your warranty? I only ask cause if you dont, the OTT stage 1 is much better then the GM stage 2

no, honestly i would go with the OTT stage 1, cheaper and comes with a better tune, bigger injectors and a 2.8 pulley. that will leave you some money to get some cooling mods.

I would go with the gm stage 2. It is a safer setup unless you have cooling mods.

Yep, the GM kit only has 42lb injectors that are maxed out if you pulley down to a 2.9. Think of it this way GM stage drops down .29 in pulley size..OTTP drops down .26 lower than the GM kit, so .55 apose to .29. Yes, it's alot faster.

A 2.8 well tuned isn't going to cause any probblems. Just heat soak faster till he gets a few cooling mods.

i went with the stage 2, the guy at gm said that he did many cobalts stage 2 kits and when he tests drives them its an amazing difference.

OTT stage 1 comes with 60lbs injectors, 2.8 pulley and hub, shorter belt, canned tune, plugs maybe? but its cheaper so you can use the left over money to by cooling mods, i would suggest OTT's Heat exchanger as well.

The dual pass end plate is a good cooling mod or a heat exchanger

the thing about there tune though is that it runs really rich. like 10.5 i think or around there. so you should get a custom tune after.
