Default Stage 1 - Johnny come lately

I intalled the stage 1 kit on my '03 on Saturday, and I'm really happy with the results. As most everyone who's reported on S1 has said, the power and auto trans programming is a great improvement. The part throttle power increase is really nice too. This thing is getting fast enough that it needs suspension upgrades to keep up with the speed!

The installation of the injectors is kind of a PITA, and I hope I don't have to de-install to pass inspection here in Dallas. I went for a new sticker last week to put it off as far as possible.

While I had the upper manifold off, I also installed new plugs and Mopar performance wires. I found that one of my spark plugs was not fully tight and the plug was blackened on the outside. This is with 12K miles on the car with the factory installed plugs.

Oh .... and I got pulled over while doing the auto trans quick learn. I told the officer that I had to go through this series of kickdown downshifts to program the new engine computer that I had just installed. He said that since I had such an original story, and my driving record was spotless, I got off with a warning!! Whew.
