Opinions on GM Stage 1 kit for auto SS

Does it make a noticible difference in power for the auto SS?

I bought my gf a SS tonight and she was asking about getting the stage 1 kit this summer.

Yeah, that's equivalent to putting the supercharger on the base Vibe like I did, it was QUITE a noticeable difference!

HUGE difference. DO IT! It makes a good car great. Be ready for the traction control to kick in often :)

I'm still throwing out feelers to see if any nearby dealerships have done this one yet. Don't really want to be the test subject if i can avoid it.

Was hoping to have it done during my vacation time in a few months

Where in Indiana are you. I've had it done and then I got tired of the dealer not knowing what they were doing and I found a dealer in Indy that had done several. They fixed my install in an hour.

I would say if you are a power freak this is a MUST. First one I drove almost sent me into a panic attack when I hit 80mph in dallas traffic.
