how do you like the hurst shifter... i love my B&M and i've heard a ton of problems with the hurst

I hated my hurst shifter, I had one in my 96 Eclipse and I ended up switching to a Skunk2

I love the HURST, actually a buddy has a Cobalt SS with the B&M here and it doesn't feel as solid to me or him. Plus I just liked the look of the hurst alot better... I think the problems are with the people installing them... it's pretty simple as long as you mark your cables before taking them off. I didn't adjust mine a bit.

what makes this car a "stage 5"?

The Stage 5 package is from Intense Racing. I've actually taken it alot further than just the stage 5 kit but what the kit included was:

-2.5" S/C pulley and quick change hub
-machined s/c snout
-60# injectors
-ported supercharger
-Intense Stage 5 ECU upgrade

Like I said i've taken the kit alot further with numerous cooling upgrades, meth injection, header, 3" catless downpipe, titanium s/c bearings, my own custom HPTuners tuning seeing the Intese tunes are notoriously terrible and so on.

What kind of power is the car making?

[607Motorsports]

I've got no dyno numbers sorry guys... my best estimate puts the car at right around 300whp. I'm flowing approx. 35.5lb/min through the MAF which should put the car right in that area. I should have some track numbers for the car in a month or so...

damn nice balt.
My buddy had one when they first came out. I Loved driving it. The instant power from the SC was nice. Wasn't much in the aftermarket at the time, but I knew the potential was going to be sweet for them.
All he had was K&N filter and some ratty custom downpipe. I guess people were putting down around 215-220 whp stock, so he was bummed when I beat him with my chipped 1.8T. I was trying to convince him to get a pulley, but he wouldn't budge, then he sold it a month later.

The most recent upgrade to the Balt... The stock manifold was terribly restrictive especially since I am running a 3" catless downpipe and 2.5 freeflow exhaust. Car really seems to have picked up in the mid and upper rpms
