> Honestly it’s up to you. I left mine with just intake and exhaust, no stage kits, but I had a reason for that. I auto-x and to me modding the S/C pulley and going into street mod would have zapped all the fun right out of it. So I’m going more the lines of suspension/handling as I have no insterest what so ever in straight line speed.

> I’m assuming the $850 was installed? If they’re telling you they list for $1k, they’re full of it. The kit is listed from GM as $750 retail. Don’t let them tell you you have to buy the kits separately, if you buy the S2 kit right off the bat then S1 is included in that. If you buy them separate they’re $950. If you want to purchase the kit then just have the dealer install it, you can get the Stage 2 complete kit (including the S1 parts) for $550.

they meant out the door with the kit including both the S1&2 and installed, they charge $1000. they were gonna do it to mine for like $850 tho, which isnt too bad. i ended up just taking the car last night, got a new pcm installed for free. still throwin the idea around for a stage kit, but i might just put an exhaust on and save the money for the vette.
