Like MikeInOrange I got mine from tthrift and the install took 20 minutes from key off to key on. Since I had a 5 speed, no atx learn so I was on the road again.

probably for me the jump from HO GT to S1 was less than T-Lite to S1 but I like it none the less.

Loyd is right about the power jump not being as dramatic in the GT as it is with the Lite (+15HP vs +55HP) but keep in mind that Stage 1 is about more than just adding some extra ponies. Boost comes on sooner, auto trans shifts quicker/sharper, etc. It changes the overall driveability of the car.

Yes it does! Boost kicks in about 1500 RPMs sooner plus it hangs onto boost better between gears. I had the mopar BOV before adding S1 and it popped off all the time. Even if you were just "thinking about" letting of the gas. With S1 it only pops off if there is a big amount of pressure, otherwise it holds the throttle open a bit and runs it out.
