GM Stage Detailed Specs Discussion Part XV

[AlphaJaguar5]

lol, do a search. We know about it and a GM stage 2 with a smaller pulley should push the same amount of HP as that kit.

HA HA, SORRY TO LAUGH at you but the GM kits are only putting around 240 or so...check it yourself. The GM part number is 17803239 for the Stage 2, call any local GM performance parts dealer and ask them quick one. On top of that they don't offer as large of injectors (only ~38lb) so you lose out there. The GM stages will only put you so high or else its not under warranty. Same way with Dodge only holding up on their warranty for the Mopar stage 2. Once you hit stage 3 it is void, irregardless of who does the install.

It is simple, save the pictures that are posted on there and zoom in...260 is the max hp showing on that chart. Below that is a 240 line. Then look where it is production vs. stage 1 vs. stage 2....stage 2 is right above 240...not going off the charts because thats what would happen with the kit at the place I was talking about.

[vandy0419]

Oh, about the pulley size, the GM is only 2.9 so .1" will make 1psi more than the basic stage 2. Plus prices on the GM kits is 900-1000...I already have a place that is selling them its www.jbodyperformance.com

the intense kit has a bad habit of getting knock retard in the midrange. something you want to look at

[vandy0419]

Isn't the MAF Translator supposed to mildly compensate for that? I know with that it gets it close, but not exact. Whenever GM releases the kits, Intense is going to have access to the PCM code where they can tune the car without have it there and get the PCM sent out and swap it. Since they are close to where I live I though about just taking my car up there and putting it on their dyno and letting them tune it for me. Also, there is always a Diablo Tuner to plug into the OBDII...I think one of those should make it rather fail proof, right?

DiabloSport has no plans to make a tuner for our car

GM is giving them a license for the code?

GM isnt giving anyone the code, just making the program more accepting of mods.

Just for reference, there is no proof that the GM kits will only put out 240whp. Our engines are RATED at 205 BHP and most are dynoing more than that at the wheels.

And I really don't think they will. I mean, they locked it up for numerous reasons, they are not just going to give it out now. Will they let it adapt more easily..maybe, but who knows.
