Thumbs up stage kit installed yesterday!

just had the stage kit installed. WOW, what a difference!
on moderate acceleration, stock there was 6-8 psi boost, now it's at 15 psi.
hard accel stock was 12psi & now at 20 psi! i haven't floored it yet as it was wet outside. saturday i will have it dyno'd & then that afternoon going to union grove dragstrip.

Just don't drive yourself crazy looking at the boost gauge. Pay attention to G-force (how much your butt gets planted into the seat upon acceleration). Boost will fluctuate depending upon ambient environmental and engine demand conditions, so just have fun! And undoubtedly you will...

Right? That's what we've all been saying. Hard to put into words on the site here just what the difference is. You have to feel it to believe it only cost $600 or less.

Keep the opinions of the upgrade coming... I'm trying to convince myself to spend the money and get it done!
