First gear is virtually useless as the tires break loose as soon as you go to full boost. I was running a MBC when running at the track and would compare Stage 1 just a little below the performace of using a MBC. I'm getting 15 lbs. on average with Stage 1 but was running 16-16.5 with the MBC, of course the advantage of Stage 1 is you can run it all the time...I was turning my MBC back down when running on the street to avoid codes.
Powershifting is now a blast although I'll save that for occasional track use, this car needs to last me over 100K miles and at least 10 years as my main transportation ( I have another drag car when I get the urge to beat the living daylites out of the powertrain).
So far no codes but I've only had it on the road twice since the Stage 1 install (finished install yesterday).
All in all I'd consider Stage 1 a bargain for fun-factor...MOPAR you did a great job!!! My total cost on Stage 1 and BOV was exactly $400 including shipping.
