GMT stage 1 or 2

even at 400whp is alot. 500whp on the z is really amazing. Only a few guys running 500whp on a SC. It good power. You can always try stage one sc. Then want more power upgrade to the stage 2. Stage 2 is a whole different ball game.

I've been running the stage 1 GTM kit with custom tune on my DD for about 10,000 miles and this thing puts a smile on my face every time I drive it. I still have two years to pay my car off, so I am very comfortable with a very reliable 400whp for now. You can always get the stage 2 and run less boost, which is also an excellent option!

i put around 33 000 km a year on my stage one and no issues so far. Want to change my SC oil though now that I think about it.

shumby · 01-01-2012, 08:08 PM

And my wife puts most of those miles on it 300KM round trip to work. Stage 1 has been a nice reliable DD for me. Not saying the 2 would not be just telling you how my 1 has held up. Car has 70 000+ km on it now

theDreamer · 01-01-2012, 08:09 PM

Damn Shumby, I thought I had the most miles on the stage 1, but 300km daily.

shumby · 01-01-2012, 08:15 PM

ya thats the wifes round trip. It gets a break over the winter. Our 09 FX50 has 100 000+km on it now and no issues (shumby quickly touches wood)

I'm stage 1 with 13k miles on it now. I put down 430whp and 340 tq

You could always get the stage.1 & upgrade it with the GTM stg.1 upgrade kit for alil extra power. You can't run long tube headers with the stage.2 which is is a "con" of the kit. For a DD I'd go stage.1

It would be a huge pain you'd have to modify the headers to fit and then find a way to deal with the heat via coating or wrap.

Would be a pain to upgrade from
Stg 1 to 2?
