Stage 1 kit Rocks

Had mine installed today on my auto 09 SS. What a difference. NO longer a dog in first and second. Broke the tires loose going into passing gear at 40mph. Definitely worth every penny.

I know, isn't that awesome?

I passed a slow-poke the other day in a 45mph zone and burned the tires as I was going around him! You should have seen the look on his face!

This car is a real sleeper in my book. I don't think there are many people that realize how quick it is.

Sorry TXBass06! I didn't mean to put a strain on your bank acct! I am just having so much fun with this ride!

I have not had a smile on my face like this since I blew the ol' motor in my Firebird. This is definitely keeping me happy till I get that project back on the road. It is a lot easier on the gas too! I got 32.6mpg on my 275 mi. trip here last night!

jescobe82: The stage 1 kit is an upgrade that the dealer can install to boost the HP to 290!

Not trying to get off subject, but what's the easiest, best, cost effective pony improvement I can do right out of the gate??? I'm thinking intake, but I'm new to "turbo world"
