In MN: Stage one installed yesterday. Stage 2 today.

I took it out after the dealer flashed it and man oh man is that 7k rev limiter nice. For those of you in MN the moundsview dealer will do the reflash for you for 52 bucks out the door. That's about as cheap as you're going to find it. They're real hesitant to do anything else on the vehicle though, but I will offer my services for the other portions.

The injectors were a breeze to do and the pulley....well I'll tell you how that goes later today.

You guys have to upgrade to at least this. It's very nice.

Good to hear Cynic. I can't wait to get staged, pullied, and well..........whatever else. So many plans, so little time. Well, I guess that isn't true seeing as how the kits are on backorder everywhere

Glad to hear the kit worked out for you. $452 installed, NICE!

If you'd like to buy a snout off me, I have one with the SFPH hub and 2.8" pulley installed.

Let me know, before you waste your money on the upgrade.

I already have the DUB hub from SFPH I'm installing it right now with the blower on and I got the stock pulley off fine but I can't unscrew the 5/8th's bolt from the supercharger. It just free spins...any ideas?

Thumbs up

Just got back from Moundsview Saturn and they said you were in there last night. The service guys were excited that you picked their store for the flash I wished that I had known prior that you planned the pulley swap today as I have a 3" pulley here that needs to go on as well. PM me your phone numbers so we can keep in touch on wrenching on the cars

Cool. I really need to get on this. Did you check any other dealerships?

I've been meaning to call the GMPP dealerships in the area to see what their deal is, but I haven't taken the time yet. (So yeah, my sig is pre-updated...just waiting for next week when my bank account will be nice and full again.)

And I may take you up on the other portions if need be.

Congrats Cynic!

I just got the call from the saturn dealer that my reflash is done, too! I haven't driven it yet, but I can't wait to get out of work. I thought they could have routed the coolant line differently to save a little elbow grease on changing the injectors, but it went fine. I even put 60 miles on it before the reflash, wouldn't have done that without Spooner testing it for us first. Thanks Spooner! Anywho, I get to put on the K&N this weekend. Yippeee!

Right now I've got the Billetflow 2.9 pulley. The 2.7 should be here today or tomorrow and I'll drop it down to that. This car just fricken screams now. Definitely recommend the upgrades to all of you. You can't even believe the difference it makes. And I'm sure that 2.7 is going to be a whole new world as well.

Injectors...psh I didn't have to re route anything to get at those. They took me like 15 minutes to do. I don't know what your dealer F'ed up but which one was it? I've been walking Moundsview through everything. I was going to let them press on my pulley too but I got impatient and just did it myself.

Raven...just hunt around the forums. I've seen them for sale occasionally as people are ditching the stage for intense kits. Really awesome products but I just don't know how the car is going to hold up with that kind of HP. I'd like to let others bust theirs first while I enjoy the remainder of my factory warranty

Apparently some of the cars have a slightly different line for the coolant overflow from the head to the overflow container. Rice said it was different on his, or Tibbets, or someones... With mine, there was no way of pulling the injectors, or putting them back in without total fear of breaking that line.
