"Stage 3" would be for fun
"Stage 2" would be for daily driving

well it works off of different resistor values if im not mistaken so you could in theory make 2 more stages im just not sure how the tranny would take such an increase in pressure without some work done to it.

What you have to worry about is the over heating factor. The stock tranny cooler is junk if you were to replace that with something more efficient you would lower your chances of breaking something.

Okay, so i know at LEAST 10 people ordered this, and I found the perfect place to mount it!
I will also use this mounting place for my nitrous when it is installed this spring.
Okay, so what you want to do:
Step 1 Pull down the lever to adjust your steering wheel, push the wheel up as high as it will go.
Step 2Take the giant switch box, feed it up into the panel between the underside of the Steering wheel and the panel below it, there should be about a .5" gap
Step 3 Position the switch where you want it
Step 4 Lower the adjustment lever, and push down the steering wheel, push it down as far as it will go (about .1") then keep the pressure on it as you push the adjustment lever back up into the locked position
You now have an easily accessible, hidden, clean installation of the B&M switch!
I will also use this mounting place for my nitrous when it is installed this spring.

Yea I was thinking that it might look cool right next to the shifter but if I don't put it there I will probably put it in the little compartment with the trunk release button.
Also did you run any before and after 1/4 mile times?
