From what I've read over there, the "Happiness" factor seems to depend on what the expectations of Stage 2 were. It appears that most of the benefits of Stage 2 comes from part throttle/low rpm performance. Most of the dyno charts have shown nice torque gains under the curve but minimal peak gains thus making it a much more fun car on the street but not neccessarily a WOT/Top End 1/4 mile burner. I must admit that the lower trap speeds that many have reported is somewhat disturbing.
I still think Stage 2 will be a good platform to build on, especially with the larger injectors and 3 bar MAP. It just might take some time to figure out all the little quirks about the new PCM. Thus it may be a blessing that our S2 release has been delayed so we can let the SRT4 folk be the "Guinea Pigs" and be able to make more informed purchasing decisions later on.
Aloha,
Mark
