Working out a shop to do before and after right now, so hopefully I'll have some good data for you all!

I'll be going stage 1 whenever we get more e85 stations in Los Angeles. I have no interest in trying to make 500whp. To me, a small, nimble, 400whp reliable car that pulls to redline and still has a nice interior is pretty close to the perfect car.

100% agree, everywhere I post about this people always say, "why not stage 2?". Stage 1 makes perfect sense for my purposes, and if they change down the road I could easily swap my Stage 1 with someone and upgrade with a very small hit in cost. I see the used Stage 1 turbos sell around $600-700 used which is great.
