Default STAGE 1 Turbo Upgrade--it's a KEEPER!
Here is my short report on S1. STAGE 1, Mopar BOV, and Brand X (AMX1397) Turbo-Up Pipe were installed yesterday on my GT at my Six-Star Dealership. [8D] After driving less than 75 miles returning home my report is only three words--I LIKE IT! The only downside I see at this time is that I have developed a "medical" condition--[u]chronic LEAD FOOT</u>!!! [B)] [:0] [] Wonder if it can be cured or not? [:I] [?]

[8)] [8)] [8)] [8)]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

One Week Later...Although I have driven my "new GT" for only a week now since the addition of "S1", [u]I LIKE IT MORE</u> than before, and, have no regrets about making the modifications. My car continues to run flawlessly, the additional horsepower is very nice, and I believe gas mileage is improving. All together, IMHO--STAGE 1, BOV, and custom turbo up to air box pipe--makes for a nice "performance package" upgrade.

Gary,

Sometimes that happens the only down side is
you never recover from it. Happy motoring.

Almost a 1000 miles on STAGE 1 and no complaints or issues whatsoever--noticeable improvement in overall driveability, increased power/performance, and possibly, a slight increase in gas mileage which may improve further if I ever get over my severe case of "leadfoot"! [8)]

Little bit off topic but Loyd, are you going on the Mt. St. Helens cruise this weekend? Daisy and I are. Would be nice to meet up since we have belonged to TVCC for three years.

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

Dang it. No we aren't. We are going to the casino cruise in Shelton the following week, so we aren't going anywhere this weekend. (except DQ for a bit on Friday)

Send me an email and we'll work out a meet up at some point. loyd@digitalplaythings.net
