Interest in stage 2... but need some feedback
 
I just want to know a few things before i order this thing...

1. who else has done the stage 2 so far?
2. have you noticed that big of a difference on a stock car with the stage 2?
3. has anyone done this mod with intake and catback and what kind of power diff do you feel?
4. what kind of problems have you had?

I live in NJ and its getting cold... what recommendations can you make for me. I'm not going to lie and say i'm getting this for "weekend fun driving".. I drive 20-25 mile to and from work everyday on the garden state parkway and when there's no traffic i beat the crap out of the gas pedal. I'm not too concerned about sound because i'm used to driving loud cars. i go to the underground spots in newark and jersey city and occassionally race there. I want some good NA power before i save up for a turbo kit. Any opinions are appreciated. CZ coments would be good too.

most of the people using any canzoomer are using custom maps. you'll more than likely have to tune it yourself to get more than 5-10hp out of it...search my posts a couple weeks back, I explained the same thing to someone else.

1. yes
2. big difference felt (stage 2 map was designed for stock car, with no mods)
3. Huge difference have to tune to your car though
4. no problems

Make sure you get all programs and software, and canscan to help tune it.

actually, it's very unwise to use a stage 2 map on a car your drive on the street. stage two aims for a 13.7 afr, which with a bad tank of gas will cause the motor to ping. east coast guys can probably get away with it, as we have 93 octane. it also requires a cat that can handle the much higher EGT's, or no cat at all.
