Intense Kit + GM Stage Kit Flash?

Think it'd really screw with something, or do you think I could get them to flash the car with the GM stage kit's (preferrably the stage 2, as it has a pulley mod as well) ECU update? What would be the cons of doing this (the pro is obviously getting the raised rev limiter)? And how much do you think it'd cost? Should I get the flash before or after the kit's installed? I don't know! TELL ME?

The way I understand it is that the only way to get the Stage reflash is by buying the whole kit. The dealership with need an activation number to be allowed to flash your ecu. And the stage 1 and 2 flashes are the same. I think the best route would be to get stage 1 and your own pulley and then just order the MAF-T from the INTENSE kit to fine tune. That will save you some money in the long run because if you go with the intense kit first and still want the GM flash you will be buying injectors twice.

Or you could just sell the GM injectors, they are the same size as the Intense ones, aren't they?

If I was going to go with the stage kits that would be the way I would do it.

theoreticly those who worked on tuning the rl have never seen the A\f ratio above 6500. it could go lean with anything smaller than gms, who knows, it will be addressed once its on a company car.

keith-

until then we will just be guessing.
