Two stage Jet 180* for the 318 and 360 guys are not near what the Hemi one costs (don't ask me why the Hemi one is $30) readily available from a number of sources for under $15!!!

Also, it's a mod that is VERY beneficial to those with other mods that "lean out" the A/F mix, such as CAIs, Headers and especially tuners that advance the timing. All those mods each work to lean you out a little. You put them in combo and you are really running lean, maybe not quite CEL lean, but lean non the less. Guys with those mods should really have the A/F ratio checked, I was very close to CEL lean with all the above mods. The cooler statrichened me up towhere itbrought me very close to stock specs for A/F ratio.

I would just keep the stock setup instead of going with a 30 dollar two stage.

25 in spark plugs, synthetic mobil1, mr gasket air cleaner, etc.
yep either buy the 2 stage or dont buy one at all. the only reason im looking at it is because i live in the desert and then will be in Fla.

25 bucks for all that, man i need to shop where you shop lol

hammer maybe the hemi needs two t stats just like it need double plugs for its picky *** to run right

I lived in Kissimmee, worked at Disney (thus the sarcastic culture shock comment) and a Timeshare, hung out in Polk County (Lakeland, Winter Haven, Frostproof).

Anyway, do you have a specific site for the two stage your looking at?
