Manual Boost Controller
I know that this topic has been slightly discussed before, but i was wondering if that there is anything out there now that would work on our car as a manual boost controller, i am not sure if this is just what the gm stage 1 kit does and i am not sure how much more boost people are running on that set up. I just want something to TURN UP THE BOOST. Thanks "JG"

I would not mess with the manual knob. You would lose your engine management system that keep the driveline alive as well as the engine.
Knobs are good for racers with well built engines that have a margin of safety built in with the modified parts.
The GM management system does a good job and it keeps you full 5 year 100,000 mile GM warranty alive.

well you could get a real tune, or atleast install your own sensors, probally do a better job than the dealer. you could buy the sensors for around 100 from paw with pigtails and buy hp tuners and have a tuned stage kit for less than what the dealer will charge for a kit plus installation...

The majority of the parameters changed in the stage kit are not even visible on HP Tuners for the LNF ECM. They have cracked only a tiny portion of the code and appear to have orphaned it, since there have been no improvements in HPT's capabilities on the LNF since forever. There is no control over cam phasing and injection timing, which both figure heavily in the LNF calibration. The big attraction of the stage kit over other tunes is the consistent effectiveness of it, coupled with the fact that you retain the factory warranty on the engine and powertrain. The cost of the legit turbo upgrade won't even get you a set of replacement pistons, let alone the true cost of a rebuild. I've been tuning my LS1 for several years, but I can't even begin to tell you how many drooling idiots there are out there with HP Tuners or other tuning packages. The software imparts no wisdom upon the end user.
