Everyone else is getting theirs for a few hundred chaper and they have been running with them for a few weeks now. How come their being ********? Someone help me out here..... with anything at all

I think the package will compliment other mods as well though.(cams,sportsman cnc head,headers etc...)
Dont forget the kit is 50 States Legal, so there are limits to how much you can get aways with and maintain that. Plus they wont be eliminating any/much of the TQ management settings in order to keep from burning **** up. So right now at least there's not a lot of options and ther Stage Kits are your best bet even if you plan to INTENSE it.

Brad is a pretty cool guy, i use to go to him when i needed some tuning done with my mustang.. ACD did close down off buford highway but i believe he did move.. he isnt into tuning as much as he use to be though, he is trying to become a full time racer. Personally I did not like this work as well as other places i have been, id rather go to MV in Stathem for work. but to each his own

Whoever started this thread obviously dosen't have stage 2. It is worth every penny. It is like night and day. To pull 45 more hp out of a 4 banger for $750.00 is crazy! I love it and you will too. Very torquy, lots of wine and a Stage II cobalt ss/sc is the nastiest sleeper of car on the streets.

The install was easy for all those who want to know. The directions are fairly straight foward with some decent pictures to follow. If you have the right tools, and a pulley puller you're in business.
