It's only +100whp if you assume the stage 1 is limited to 400whp, which it isn't.

On this kit most people have been seeing 390 - 420whp, so it's still at least 80whp depending on the Dyno you're using.

Either way, a solid 50-80whp for around $1,500 is a pretty good deal for those with the stage 1 SC from GTM.

More like $2500 with install labor, no?

I don't normally calculate labor on the forum because it depends, shop rate, DIY, other mods added at that time throw the labor number out of whack.

That's a good point. Just didn't want anyone to think it was $1300 out the door for the upgrade.

Yeah, guess we could say 50-80whp for $1,500+labor.

Absolutely

It is exciting as hell that GTM keeps giving us new options, especially on the older kits. I would absolutely expect them to develop stage 2, 3, 4, - 100... but giving those of us new options with what we already have is genius. Just goes to show that they aren't in it for the coin alone, they really are enthusiasts and want to share this with the rest of us. I am syked to do the stage 1.5.

I love the SC... another 80-100 hp should bump the scream to a new level.

it is exciting! but dont forget about the profit area. if your a customer willing to spend 8 grand then a year or two down the road you will likely spend another 2 grand to improve the 8 you already spent.

yea for money pits!!!!
