I am awaiting Stage 2 because the rumor mill said that DC was working on CARB certification for Stage 2. Since I have an 03 and can't change out JUST the PCM, and since Texas has annual emission testing, I can't see installing anything that is stamped in big letters "NOT FOR USE ON POLLUTION CONTROLLED VEHICLES".
Yea, the warranty issue is a bummer but I am more willing to take my chances with that than with the emissions issue. Obviously there could be engine damage that was blamed on the Stage kit but at least you have a fighting chance with anything else.
If I had a 04 where I could change out just the PCM, I would have probably already gone with Stage 1.
