Something tells me Joepro hasn't been reading many of the posts on this web site. My 05 has huge problems once a cell is thrown, I know, I use a boost controller and it throws codes after just a few runups to 15PSI. And the EDTIP doesn't work on my 05. The PCM gets wise to that after about 20 miles of driving. I have read all sorts of things about fooling the S0 PCM, but none so far has worked for me for more than a week of driving. At this point, S1 is the ONLY way my car is ever going to see the north side of 13PSI without codes.

First off, Stage 1 for 2004 is IN the 2005. Period. In other wortds you CANNOT adds stage 1 to a 2005 car. Not unless you take out the existing code, and injectors, throw them away, and put the same ones back in.
There are no 2005 Stage 1s.
Good grief.
As far as the transmission, you could fool around with the software, or you could put a real valve body in the car.
As far as power, the 2004 Stage 1 almost gets to a stock 2005 curve on 97.
I don't know where that one guy lives, but we have 104 octane here for super test. 97 octane is a mid-grade. I would recommend moving closer to civilization I guess.
Cheers guys.

Sorry Joe, I don't know where you are getting your info at, but it's wrong. Info from "the inside" has been passed to me as the fact that Stage 1 programming is
NOT in the 2005's PCM. Yes, the 05 is 230hp rather than the reported 220 because of the new plastic manifold and programming to take advantage of it. I
have owned both a Stage 1 '04 PTGT and now a stock '05 PTGT and I can tell you that while the '05 definately is faster and more powerful than the '04 when it was stock, it is not faster than the '04 with Stage 1. It's close, but not equal. Unless you have hacked into both a '04 and a '05 PCM and have compared the two, you shouldn't claim the 05's have Stage 1 in them already because it is false. My '04 Stage 1 PTGT used to do rolling burnouts at 30mph when it's only power mod was Stage 1. My stock '05 PTGT can't do that. Also Stage 1 for the 05's is not dead just on hold because the engineer working on it was "let go".
