While I was there I talked to my salesman to see if they had any new info on the new Camaros,but they didn't even have as much as the Camaro 5 web site does.I also talked to the owners son wanting to find out if they were going to have their annual car show and he thought he was giving me some new info on the stage 1 info.I told him he's a few weeks late.

Sounds like some kind of wastegate issue... No way you should be boosting that high stock.

I would have them look into that as well.

After reading all the info on the stage kit,I'm itching for more power.If it turns out I don't like the new Camaro I might just trade mine in on a 09 with an auto and get the kit installed before deliver.That should make the wife happy.She can't drive a manual!Really don't even drive a car I restored for her that's an auto.

Would that be the 80 or 81 in the garage? Sorry to hear about your misfortune and I hope the dealer doesn't give you any crap and fixes it.
