Stage 2 advise

[old school]

With my GM stage 2 upgrade should I go with a colder spark plug?

I ordered the Stage II kit from my local Saturn dealer last week, and was told the order was placed, but the kit isn't available until the first week of October. No big deal, since we're almost there, but how is it everyone already has them?

Well, they had the first small batch, and they ran out in about a week, and were on backorder for a long time, I think over a month. And now it seems they ran out again. They source some of the parts from aftermarket companies, so that's the reason they gave for the 1st backorder.

Thanks, I'm really looking forward to it. It'll be in just about the time the weather starts to get really nice here, and I can take some road trips up A1A along the coast to St. Augustine, one of my favorite destinations.

how much are you paying for the stage 2 kit?

Contact "Matrix". He has them in stock at a very good price. My nephew had his installed yesterday along with a Magnaflow exhaust (www.complete exhaust.com) and the K+N Typhoon CAI. What a difference! My '94 Cobra might now be the second fastest vehicle in the immediate family.

By the way, I've now read a number of threads with all the numbers listed of exactly what effect it will have on horsepower and torque, but how much difference do you actually notice with this upgrade while driving?

At first it feels like a good bit more power, but after a couple weeks, you just get used to it and it seems the same. Kinda like when you turn up the stereo, it seems alot louder for a while, until you adjust to it, then it seems less loud.
