Guys,

you have been less than spoiled, but you have had your wallets emptied.

You won't find hard-core racers fiddling wround with the siully "stage 1" hoax. Stage 1 is a 15 to 25 hp "gain" that can be had without spending a ton of money with two cheap parts.

Boost gauge & manual boost controller.

Boost gauge: $25
Manual controller: $15
Net gain on pump fuel (97 octane) = 35 to 45 hp easy.

a "Cheapie chiller" or a windshield wiper pump with 4 to 6 outlet ject than sprays a 70/30 water/alcohol mix onto the intercooler at the press of a switch or at WOP costs about $20, and yields another 15 ponies on a hot day.

Save your money. Forget the "Mass Market Dupe of Stage 1. Do what the racers do.


I realize you're new and all, but first off, a little research goes a long way, secondly, where are you going to get 97 octane in most parts of the country at a gas pump, and why would you dish that kind of cash out repeatedly when you could spend $350 and not have to tune a single thing. You don't have to do things the sloppy hard way to be a "real racer"
