Default Super Six powerpacks

since im thinking about changibng the cams in my car for a more aggresive sound, i decided to look at other stuff as well (now im gettin power hungery) and i came across super six power pack, and for just $1800 i can get 75 more ponys for my pony.

but, i have questions

heres the link
http://www.supersixmotorsports.com/p...3PowerPaks.pdf

I am looking at the stage 2 for the 98 3.8V6(for auto)

but, whats the differance between stage 2 and stage 2+

and also(the big questions)

how hard is it to install?

is it just bolt on and go?

any tuning involved after installation?

if its beyond my capabilites, how much would it cost to have a mechanic do it?

any suggestions are more than welcome!!

wat else would be good to go with the engine(i think i read fuel injecters?)

I am ready to do the same work to my car from the same guys, and while the install is not impossible it is something I think I will leave to the professionals. The differemce between the stage 2 and 2+ is the heads come with bigger/stronger valves. If you plan on going nitrous or boost the bigger valves are a good idea, but if not then the regular stage 2 is good. I am not 100% sure how much install will cost but $750 would be a pretty good deal. As for the fuel injectors, I dont think you need them unless you are going nirous or boost.

One other thing, find out what the funky buttons are and if they are tunable, cause with a cam swap you will need to re-tune.

eh....that's what they all say.

I'll be getting head and intake work done. Maybe a cam. I figure I could do heads and intake but cam is a little deeper into the block and I'm just tooooo scared

Plus I don't like paying someone else to do the work cuz they're humans just like us. If they can do it....then hell, so can I. I just don't want to invest that time learning how. I will eventually but just not now.
