Default STAGE 1 INSTALLED/ 18PSI!!!

Finally got my stage 1! Installed this morning and cranked up the BC!! WOHO! Tire smoke and hop all the way through 1st gear.[8)] The low end torque is simply outrageous. My set of instructions states 235HP & 275 LBS torque, but it's beyond that with my set up. Can't wait to get the 3" o2 housing/DP on now!

Congratulations, Topless! Where are you going to put the SI badge? I put mine where it shows. I even got asked by a Mustang GT driver what the Stage I badge meant, I told him to watch for the green light. He was impressed when he got to the next light, behind me! If ya' got it flaunt it! [8)]

I haven't quite decided where to put it yet. I took off the "2.4l turbo" badge, didn't like it and it wasn't quite put on straight from the factory anyways. So I think I may put it there on the passanger side of the rear or I may remove the "GT" badge and replace it with the stage 1 badge. First, my car needs a good wash. I've been burning up $3.15/gal gas pretty hard the last couple days playing aroung with the boost and the hood is starting to show the runs up to 125mph on the on-ramps!

Congrats Topless. I am curious, however, how you can be ripping up on ramps @ 125 mph since the PCM (both stock & stage one) are electronically limited to 120 mph. Do you have some way to override that nobody has told me?

I have had mine up to 125 before, and i think its more of a drag limited factor than an electronic one. my car continues to pull past that but at a snails pace. [V]

They are limited at 128 mph so either your speedo is off or your eyes are.
