I couldn't agree more with any of you guys, the Stage I is awesome and I can't get wait to get my hands on Stage II, I just want to comment about gas mileage, I've been getting better mileage since I installed it, not sure why cause I drive it just as hard as before, but I've "chipped" many cars before and it happens every time.
Well, in my 10 years of toying around with Chrysler/Dodge turbo cars I have found that any increase in performance also has the added benefit of increased fuel mileage. This is probably due to the fact that the ECU is being more agressive in terms of power output and running closer to the ideal air/fuel ratio instead of the 'safe' too rich condition most cars run. As long as your engine is a good state of tune, you should continue to see better than stock gas mileage.
