Whats the difference between all of the Stages?

What's the difference between a Stage 1, Stage 2, and Stage 3 SS/TC?? Also, if you buy a stock SS/TC used, is there anywhere that will install these packages for you?

Yeah, there's no such thing as a Stage 2 or 3 for the SS/TC.

They exist for the SS/SC...

The Stage 1 is the GM Stage 1. GM was planning on making an intake to go with Stage 1, and this would have been Stage 2, but it was never released. On some documents, the Stage 1 is also called Stage 2, as it assumed the intake was still coming out and it would have been compatible with it. No Stage 3 exists.

Stock tune is 260HP/260ftlbs (crank)

Stage 1 involves a new engine calibration, made by GM, and uses a couple of new pressure sensors. I think that's rated at 280HP/320ftlbs (crank), by increasing the boost. Also, the redline is increased a couple hundred RPM.

There is no stage 2 or 3 for the SS/TC, but they did come out for the SS/SC version.

The Stage 2 and 3 are for SS/SC's only.

It's not even really a "Stage1," right? It's a turbo upgrade package or some **** like that.
