RE: Ordered the Stage 1 today...
What can I say? I got my gas credit card (Chevron) bill yesterday for last month...$24.00 total. Having an auto parts store, a grocery store, a Wal-Mart and a Krispy Kreme all within 3 blocks of my condo does help!!! (But the traffic is a bear most of the time......)

The Stage 1 for the 2004, it's just the PCM correct and not the added fuel injectors? or does it come with the injectors and the PCM? Man, I gotta start unloading the greenbacks on my little car... my Cobra buddy keeps rubbing it in that he can beat me
*bragging about beating a 4-door Neon - yeah... you'll get chicks that way *

The Stage 1 for the '04 is just the PCM, it comes from the factory with the larger Stage 1 injectors already. They come with the larger injectors already, because the '03's had issues with WOT boost fall off due to insufficient fuel flow nearing the redline. This is also why the '04 Stage 1 is a little cheaper than the '03.

Nice thing is, you are not so much buying the horsepower (The Horsepower Happy Meal) as you are renting it
When you are ready for Stage 2, and you will be
, you can sell your Stage 1 to somebody else. And before any says VINs can't be redone, I just "Rick James'd" a whole dealer service department about this yesterday They all insisted it could not be done, would ruin the PCM, cause a new ice age, etc.
Well, guess what? That guy is driving around today, enjoying my old Stage 1 kit. And about three service advisors and 5 techs know something they didn't.

I heard someone else mention something about that about a month ago...he was selling his Stage 1 for a Stage 2 and said it was no problem to re-program. I wasn't sure if he was BSing or not....guess he wasn't!![&:]
