Default Katech Stage I/II/III mods

Does anyone here have any experience with any of these? I'm starting to get the mod itch.

Katech C7 vehicle packages base/Z51/Grand Sport

The ones I'm considering:

Stage I - 510 hp

Stage II - 550 hp

Stage III -625 hp

I'd love to hear your experiences/opinions.

We have plenty of customers with these packages, the majority of the C7 guys start with the Stage 1 and add flex-fuel if they have E85 available near them. The E85 flex fuel option adds quite a bit of horsepower, and is very efficient when it comes to $ / HP gained. The next step up is adding the MSD intake manifold which removes the first bottleneck of the LT engine (the intake manifold). Afterwards, the head/cam package is always a great combination.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out.

Is Stage II available as a kit so my local tuner can install it? It's a long drive from NC to Detroit.
