DDMWorks Stage III Supercharger installation - Now with pics

[Critterman]

What do you want to know?

I have been running it since March. I have not had any issues with it, I don't know what it costs as I always get several things done at once and then just pay the bill.

I would strongly recommend a better clutch than stock.

If you are going from a totally stock N/A to a stage III the kit would include:
MP-62 supercharger
a custom 3 belt pulley system w/auto tentioners
larger throutle body
Intercooler
New shrowding
Charge Pipes and couplers
larger 62# injectors
New intake and filter
Outstanding telephone support

I probably missed a few things, but if you want to see the install, click on the link in my signature. I upgraded from a stage II

I've looked at most of the Stage III posts.

Well theres a couple of things I want to know about it, like the price for the Stage II is around $4000 so i'm guessing the Stage III is at least $5000+,but to know the actual price would be great or at least a ball park. I also know the Stage II puts out 235hp and 245ft/lbs of torque and is pretty much a Stage I but with a intercooler and a few other things i'm sure. So what is the difference between the Stage II and the Stage III? What's the hp and torque increase from the Stage II?

Any info is great thanks

Quoting Dave from the DDM Forum:


Stage 3 is an upgrade to the existing Stage 2 kit. It consists of a 1/2" larger diameter throttle body, a new throttle body to supercharger adapter plate, 60# injectors, Tune, full 3" hard tube intake going from throttle body to intake, and a 3" inlet filter.

The cost is going to be around $950 for the upgrade.

The gains for the Stage 3 are around 25 horsepower and 25 ft/lbs of torque.

One thing that is required when going to Stage 3 is the 6 rib pulley upgrade also that we introduced earlier.

More details to follow

Thanks,
Dave

Alright sounds good thanks for the info.

You may want to upgrade your clutch as well. As, i understand it, it is recommended that you do.

""Headers"" .. I wanted them anyway but was told had to have them to clear everything. Kinda like Critterman, Got everything this time while it was up there. Just e-mail Dave directly on the price. He will answer you back .

PS.. He can also install your LS-9 I seen on your wish list but that, you really need to get the price before dropping the car off. Think thats just a tad more than we have in the #3 . Its only money!!!

I've got the DDM stage II at present and I'm goint to upgrade to Stage III. Here is the cost breakdown that I was given, just a few days ago, from Dave.
Mark,

Here is the breakdown for you:

Stage 3 upgrade - $950
6 rib upgrade - $900
Stage 3 does require longtube headers - we sell our complete header system - 4-1 longtube headers with high flow cat, O2 wire extensions and ceramic coating - $930
install everything at one time - $500

Let me know if you have any other questions!

Thanks,
Dave

Alright well i think ill hold off for awhile till more people get it and see how many of them change there clutch for the stage III and see if you can have the stage III with the stock clutch without any big problems, needed to save up abit anyway.

Yeah i think ill send Dave a message and talk to him and see what he has to say from what ive been reading he has been really busy.

I think ill just leave the LS9 as a wish ive seen LS2 starting at $12000 and ive seen some conversions go up to $86000, werks has one that is $44000, 1000HP they say tho.

Again thanks for the info everyone

trust me ... you will need a new clutch ... Dave installed an Exedy stage 2 in mine ... but they(DDMWorks) have developed a new clutch and are in the process of testing it out on Randy's car .... there will be a big difference in the amount of pressure it takes to depress the clutch when you upgrqade .... but it just takes a little time to get accustomed to that.

My clutch held the stage II without a problem others had issues, My stage III has been in for 3+ hard months and I can tell you without a doubt, change the clutch at the same time. Better tires are recommended as well as the RSA's are just smoke machines at this point.
