Stage 3 next check
I want to buy the CA stage 3 with my next paycheck. Is there anything extra I need to purchase for this.. I plan on getting a custom tune.. I read on the ZZP website about a snout machining tool that will make my snout accept a 2.8 pulley.. Will the stock pulley not fit a 2.7? Does anybody else have this stage kit? How does it feel for you guys.
Stage #3 : 2.7 ZZP Interchangeable Pulley system , 1 step colder ngk IRIDIUM spark plugs , GM shortened belt , 42# Lucas Injectors , Injector Wiring Harness, Stage #3 Retune ... Est. 65 Hp over stock - 18 psi boost
^^ everything included in the kit

Oh and do i need to buy HPTuners software.. or find a shop or somethin that has it.. My friends keep saying i need to buy a tunable ECU.. but don't we have tunable ECU's already.

I'd say make your own kit. Get the 2.7 pulley (if thats the one you want), 60lb. injectors, spark plugs, smaller belt, and a custom tune. You don't need to machine the snout for a 2.7 pulley, it is only needed in some cases for a 2.6 and a 2.5 or lower. You'll also want to consider traction mods (mounts, traction bars) and cooling mods (meth, H/E, dual pass).

Piece together your own kit. One thing your really going to need to consider though is traction mods (mounts ect.)
To start:
60lb. injectors
2.8in. pulley
GM shortened belt
custom tune
poly mounts
Additional:
intake
full exhaust
meth
cobra heat exchanger
