Default Stage 1 necessary???

Ok, I've been reading around about Stage 1 and the upcoming stage 2 and I'm starting to think this may be a waste of cash.

My main reason for thinking this is (this is not meant as a slam, just an example) 3BarBoost's track times in his sig line at the end of his posts.
--------------
'04 PT GT 5spd
14.48 @ 96 mph
Stage 1 + Race Pipe
--------------

Now I have an 03 GT 5 speed with only an air intake, and a manual boost controller and blowoff as mods. With that I ran a 14.66 at 96.5 MPH. (My R/T sucked at 1.42) My next planned mod is the exhaust, which should net me some good hp gain. Which makes me think that my little MBC is helping me more than Stage 1 is helping others.

Stage 2 pretty much replaces Stage 1 as well from what I've heard, and gives bigger HP gains. So what's the point of stage 1???

Feel free to prove me wrong if I am, but this just seems really bizarre to me.
