My S1 and exhaust should be here today, with rain predicted all weekend who knows when I will get to install, then off to Joisey to see the PSI-FI folks.

When it dries up are you going to go to Maryland International Raceway to do your runs?

Finally took the plunge and ordered S1 for my car from TThrift. Very nice guy!

Now I am in waiting for the ups truck mode. I am sure I will sit at the window like a dog watching for master

Gary, I am already thinking of S1, why did you choose the dealer to install? for warranty? for the ease? how much did they charge you, and did you buy the kit from them or buy it elsewhere?

thanks

Mike

Mike:
I am very fortunate in having a very good DC dealer who has done well by me in the past--car purchase, warranty matters, etc.--and he gets my business. I just did not feel comfortable installing S1 and BOV myself. My S1 was not the first one installed by my dealer and he had his best tech do the work. The MSRP for STAGE 1 for the Autostick is $429 but the dealer gave me a discount and charged $399. The total cost for the installation of the STAGE 1 (PCM only--not with injectors--as my 04GT came with the larger injectors already installed), Mopar Blow-Off (BOV), and AMX turbo-up pipe (replacement for the stock pipe with silencer inside) was $143.21--good job, fair price, and I was very pleased with the final results.

On the other hand I installed my own S1 (also just the PCM) and it took 20 minutes from key off to key on. And since the deaker isn't going to warranty it anyway, I didn't see any need to pay for it.

The BOV is a different story! I wouldn't put on another one of those ^*#^%$%$*& things for really good money. To say it is frustrating would be a classic understatement. To quote Ron White: I'd rather be drug naked through cactus with my lips wrapped around the tail pipe of a greyhound bus.
