Default Stage 1 or 2?
I'm thinking about getting the S1 but would like to know what others think? Would it be wise to wait for S2? I'm not concerned about the CARB thing since it's not a factor where I live. Thanks!

Stage-1 is the best bang for the buck.

this late in the game i would wait and see what s2 brings to the table see what people say when they get it. if you want s2 i would not spend the money on s1 then spend more money on s2. i'd wait. my 2 cents

it's not the $400 for 25hp but what you would be able to do with the 3bar map and other components

I think any time you can get factory programmed HP it is worth it over aftermarket mods. They can look at and tune the entire equation instead of just adding a WGA or boost controller. Just my $0.02.
