Idling Question about Stage 1 ???
Guys,
After installing Stage 1 have you noticed any improvement in the idling qualities of the engine. I remember reading on this forum that the slight engine idling roughness goes away with the Stage 1 install. Any feedback on this is appreciated. Thanks Guys! John

No noticable differance in idling, more power, better mileage, this is the way the car should have been equipped from the factory...no downside to Stage 1 unless you get a dealer who blames any warranty problem on it's installation.

I found that at very low speeds (going 5-10 mph in a parking lot) the tranny is not as "clunky." Its VERY nice...Stage I is definetly worth the money, even if you arent interested in more power. The car just drives better, imo.

Thanks guys,
I'll let you all know how I like it once I install it. Today I had a little run in with some ricer with a sadly tricked out nissan 240. Primer ground effects with clear rapping tape holding on the front fender...LOLs It was so funny[  )] He had a turbo upgrade...could hear his blow off valve. He had his girlfriend along so he could have a shoulder to cry on when he got smoked by a stock PT Turbo. LMAO [8)] Guys it wan't even close....he made more noise then speed. I can't wait to have some real fun with Stage 1. Keep on Kruzin' Retroman

I noticed that my car idles a little differently with stage 1 - it seems like it has about a 100 rpm lower idle speed, but it's only a subtle difference. Sure does rev quicker from 3,000 rpm to redline in 1st gear :>
 )Saki - glad to hear you like stage 1 too. I think those of us with automatics notice an even bigger improvement in overall drivability than you do with the 5-speed. You've not made much mention of your adding stage 1 on these threads. Keep us posted as you and your car are one of the highlights around here.
