I just had gm stage 2 installed yesterday. ive read that it allows the redline to be set at 7200 instead of 6500 stock. the dealrship that installed it gave me some **** about doing it but eventually after wringing the managers neck i got it installed for the price they originaly quoted 787 installed for everything. well my car is still cutting fuel at 6500 so what could this mean? did they forget to tune it did they tune it and not set the redline correct? is it gonna mess my engine up? It runs alot better pushing 15 psi but i need to know if everyone else has had a similar problem. thanks

i always thought it was still set at 6500 but i wouldnt know for sure cuz i dont have stage two.

ss sleeper

dam i got mine installed for just 200 man. 700 is just to dam much

Redline should be 7k not 7200. If your hitting the limiter at 6500 then it has not been flashed with the stage 2 tune and you need to go back to the dealer immeditatiley! Driving as is right now with the new 42lb injectors means your running super rich and will clog your cat if you keep driving. I imagine the car is running like **** right now.

Tell the managers to call GM if they give you a hassle and explain why they've put you at risk of car failure for not doing the install properly.

They didn't do the reflash. That's all. Go back to them and tell them about it....Should be included in the GM Stage 2 you got from the dealership.

your car hasnt been flashed, take it back. and its 7000 not 7200

brett5

700 hundred was for everything....and it should rev to 7 if it has the tune if it dosen't then you have no tune

G85 SS

That's what I was thinking. I got my injectors, pulley, tune and reflash for a little over 300.

brett5

so 300 for the kit and the install and the tune????cause thats what the OP meant

ss ryder

ya 780 for everything they claimed. thanks for ur imput!!!!! im scarred that dealership is sooo stupid. ive already gave them crap for being so slow and tryin to charge me an extra 300 dollars. so i guess the only thing to do would be to call them and tell them about it but i dont think theyll understand if they couldnt get it right the first 3 TIMES!!!!! thanks everybody! so something is deff wrong then?

brett5

yea no tune

ss ryder

omg i talked to the manager he says he was right there with the mechanic following everystep on the instructions but said if theres a problem i need to bring it in for them to look at it. i have very little faith in them but what can i do im stuck in a corner because my dad dosnt wanna void the warranty. i guess i wont be drivin much till tomaroow mornin when i bring it in to them. THANKS EVERYONE!!!!! alot

anotherSSSCinPA

any other chevy dealers nearby? Call them up and explain the issue and see if they're willing to help you...

I had the EXACT problem. They didn't flash it. And I had to argue with them over and over.

They kept saying "well where does it say the rev limiter is supposed to increase to 7000"

ss ryder

how did u get them to do it correctly if theyre arguing with u like they dont know what the heck they r doing?

ive tried the local ones said they wouldnt even order the part let alone install it. Should have gone to san antonio and had this done instead of here in retarded corpus christi

Go to:
http://tis2web.service.gm.com/tis2web
Type in your vin
Click get "CAL ID"
Click on "PCM/VCM"
Click on "NEXT"
Click on "Complete History"

This will show what your current calibration SHOULD be. (Providing they registered it as stage 2 with the techline)

So print that, take it with you, and ask them to give you a printout of whats on the car. It should match what the printout says under the "Engine" and "Engine Diagnostic" section.

In this case, it probably won't, and that proves they didn't do it.

Scythe_Snake

You're lucky. Mine was 853.56 install.

But yeah, its a 7K redline and it wasn't flashed.

ss ryder

man thanks so much im gonna give this to them for sure. so the codes under the enginge/diagnostics list should match and display it when they plug into the car then correct? if they did it right of course.

Mss26

Yes, only the "Engine" and "Engine Diagnostic" are the ones to look at.

And when you take your car down to the daelership they plug in their tech-2 scan device and read what is actually on the car, and they can print it out.

So their printout should match yours.. (but it won't) at which point you say to them "See, I don't have the correct calibration (flash)"

What year is your car?

thought

Yup. And it is possible that they flashed the car, but the flash sisn't take properly. Crate Engine Depot sasy you may have to reflash it in this case (providing they actually did it in the first place...)

light'bolt

I was lucky with my install, except they didn't give me the tool to remove the blue bolts. If I'm not mistaken part of the instructions is the whole reflash. Did you get all your old parts back. You should get the pulley, belt, and injectors that were taken off the car, pretty sure Texas law requires they return those to you when you ask. They are your parts after all...

ss ryder

my cars an 06. im lookin at the instructions they gave me some of those part numbers on that web site dont match with the callibration data im reading in the paperwork. but that might be because they years are diff i dunno. what u think man

ya i made sure to get all the stock parts back including the bit to take off the blue bolts. however the instructions say to use a special pully puller to remove the stock pully from the supercharger instead of using a machine press like i have read but thats another note and im just glad they didnt charge me for the aditional tool they "had" to order to do the install

Mss26

No the part number for the flash in the instructions isn't the calibration number.

Mine is an 06 also, which is why I asked, so if you go to the website. The calibration listed for you should be:

"Engine"
12614060 00008A2E - Diagnostic enhancement for DTC P071 and P0507.

and

"Engine Diagnostic"
12616351 0000A169 - New calibration with diagnostic enhancements for DTC P0449.

ss ryder

i guess since the vin numbers are diff its given me a diff nember than those u provided im showing. odd huh? thanks again for ur help
