Everyone seems to say that stage 1 is a waste. I'm curious, what have you all put down with the stage 1 kit alone. I don't recall ever seeing before and after numbers form anyone that has the stage 1.

 

the only real benefit to stage 1 is the higer rev limiter..

since our torque curve doesnt fall off much at the high end.. more rpms will mean more power..

 

I'm just looking for numbers, real world ones. Something to compare to besides the fancy ones GM advertises.

 

So no one here has stage 1, nor have they ever had their car on a dyno? I find that hard to believe. Come on, post some numbers.

 

well if your looking for real world numbers, you should be looking for trap speeds in the q/m because EVERY SINGLE DYNO IS DIFFERENT. Dynos should only be used for tuning, or getting a baseline from one mod to another on the same dyno.

 

That's what I'm looking for, a before and after.

 

Bump-a-bump

 

I saw a stage 1 last night, the car sounded alot different than my stock one and definitly ran alot better... When you can get the full stage 2 kit for less than 200 more why get just stage one?

 

I dyno'd my car a week or so ago (stock) and made 230 / 205.

 

<<< Stage 2

I didn't say I am getting it, I just want to see numbers.

 

So no stage 1 dynoed or tracked chodebalts?
