Hmmm.....
lets see here. Stage II is only from the turbo and the intercooler and piping itself.
BUT if I go stage III, that includes forged pistons, rods, etc....so my goal is to do it right the FIRST time and get stage III. Possibly controlled by a S-AFC or DFI. I am still undecided as to the engine management system. But I got plenty of time to decide, as you can tell. But yesh, I definitely want built internals at least. When I have to replace my clutch I will go with a lightened flywheel and stage III CM clutch, possibly a drag tranny....but your looking at MAJOR money then....so I hope that clutch lasts!
Keep in mind stage II runs from 5-8 psi max SAFELY on stock internals...which is a nice jump from stock 140 HP to a whapping 300ish HP....almost double.
Stage III could probably run 8-14PSI safely for a DSM. We have peeps on the 2gnt board running 15psi all day...pullin 13s easy. Oh well, one can dream!
