Hey has anyone else have the stage II installed in Lakeland area? I went to Micheal Holley Chev and they quoted me 1,100 installed. Can I do better then this and still be under warranty?

joeworkstoohard

is that including the kit?

if so, that's about par for the course

jonnymerk

ya that includes the kit.

joeworkstoohard

that's not outside of what other dealers have been asking.

i'd buy the kit online and then call around for install quotes...

figure about 2 hours at whatever they charge per hour.

jonnymerk

Ya I worry about buying these parts online. I'm not quite sure where to look, and e-bay is outta the question for me.

joeworkstoohard

either GM parts direct or crate engine depot (maybe both) had the stage 2 kit for under 700 dollars, as i recall.

jonnymerk

Hmmm... what to do I. I almost rather just pay for the convinience.

braddddddd991

i got my stg2 for 400 and put on by bartow chevy for 190

ecotecon18s

yeah bro, def. recommend ebay the kit and go to Bartow Chevy off Hwy 60 and they should only charge you 190...me and brad got ours done there. Hell bro, if you need to, give me the money and i'll get the kit off ebay for you, you can come to my house and watch me order it. I'd hate to see a dealership rip off somebody like that...

joeworkstoohard

you know terry, for as nice of a guy as you are, you look like you'd be an *******.

jonnymerk

lol. ya maybe I'll do it that way. I figured some of you guys went that route. I just wanted to know.

Edit: also just to make sure we are talking about the same thing. when I say stage II I mean injectors and flash also.

That's what Michael Holley quoted me for install only ($1,100) when I called them up about mine. Ended up going to Bill Herd in Plant City for $280 install, but they torqued the hell out of the pulley bolts when they installed it. I've got to go along with the others about suggesting Bartow Chevy, I've been going to them ever since and they've been great so far.

just remember you get what you pay for i work on these car all the time and you want find anybody else that knows them better than me. ask ecotecon18s. if you want to see my work i can line up many cobalt ss/sc that i have had my hands in. and be glad to show you what has been done to mine. if you have any questions pm me and i can hook you up with a better deal than anyone.

ecotecon18s

lmao damn bro...guess it goes to show; cant judge a book by it cover...

he's right, I won't deny that mike knows his ****. He's had his motor apart and back together so many times its not even funny...and not because of problems. I'm not sure what Bill Heard would charge total, but I'm sure Mike would def. help you out

DaREDss

Where you the one at the causway last night?

jonnymerk

I don't believe so.

Also you I'll be in contact if I go ahead with stage II. However after reading exhaust quotes it makes me want to do some of that first cus I miss the feel of having exhaust on my car.

i thought u had the yellow 2.2?

but i suggest doing what terry said, and take it to bartow chevy they are nicer.

my car is gettin supercharged! ordering some parts this week!

campo165

oy vey...i paid 470 for the kit and 160 TOTAL to get it installed. Look around man, you're getting assrammed.

ecotecon18s

that should be sweet!!!

2.4SlowassBalt

hell yeah, all the parts that i have located so far total about 1700.

im gettin the supercharger for 500, thats the most expensive thing so far, second most is the wideband air/fuel gaugeat 377, that price shocked the **** out of me, lol.

check becks out, im doing pretty much the same setup.

REDFOCZ

You paid $377 for what wideband? You could have gotten an AEM for under $300 thats what I am getting when I buy the HPT Pro cable next month.

2.4SlowassBalt

i havent bought it, yet. i want the autometer one and its 377. do you have the aem one and like it?

ecotecon18s

Hey, RED...so you've got HPTuners huh...how bout a little hook up with some tuning...I've got a few friends that would be more than willing to pay for a little tweaking

jonnymerk

I had the yellow 2.2 but I traded it in for a silver ss '07. Unfortunately my rims are now collecting dust in my garage. looking for buyers if anyone is interested.

REDFOCZ

Right now, I tuned my car useing someone eles cable. But i have a few more things I want to tweak on my tune, plus the guys cable I am using is the basic and I want to tune with a wideband. So next month a IRL owner and I are going to get the Pro cable and I have to tune his car for some 60's and a 2.7. I have no promblems helping other getting a tune. But I have to get my own cable frist. Funny thing Viper3344 mention he wanted me to tune his car, I have a 2.4 Sky owner asking me to tune her car, plus that Redline owner. I will be charging $175 to tune after I purchase the cable.

I dont have the AEM in this car yet. But I like it because it is a very easy install. Power, Ground, and the 0-5v cable to the HPT MPVI box. Thats it, no free air calabration like the LC-1 or anything like that.
