1st Problem with the Stage 1
#182
So was there ever a cure to this
Due to my Warranty I am looking into a GMTU
But YIKES after reading these posts it sounds scary.
I am hoping there is more people out there with Good Luck rather than bad luck with this
upgrade???????????????

Clearance is still an issue even with the new plug-in harness. Some have shimmed the IC forward(labor intensive). The upgraded stiffer motor mounts also help reduce the engine movement or rotation under torque.
I went the motor mount way. I also have a home made bracket between the oil pan and IC piping. When the engine torques and moves or rotates, the bracket slightly moves the IC pipe forward. This keeps the wiring and IC pipe at an equal distance,thus no rubbing.
Also zero issues with my upgrade going on 5 months.

I am still saving up but i am trying to get all my notes together for the dealer.
It sounds like I will have to order the kit from crate engine depot
And then have the dealer install.
Is there anything else I need to warn the dealer about other Than the clearance issue.
I would hope that by now they would have that noted in the instructions but it does not sound that way.

On the other hand the car feels so much better than the stock 235.
