I understand that the Stage 3 will have the ability to change the maps and will have additional hardware, but what is the difference between hp & tq of a stage 2 & a stage 3 ?

None. Stage 3 will just allow for boost and multiple maps.

Plus you will need to purchase some hardware.

Actually, there can be a difference. It depends on how good you are at adjusting things ;) . Stage 3 allows two different things than Stage 2. First, you can have different maps for different situations. Second, you can deal with forced induction, or adjust for "better" intakes or exhausts. Even while you drive, though I wouldn't recommend that. Worse than talking on a cell while driving.

True, but he asked about torque/HP right off the abt, and I beleive that it's the same. Only changes once you start monkeying around with it, correct?

Gotta read a bit, this has been discussed many many times in many many threads. But in brief, Stage 1 nets you about 25 WHP, and Stage 2 nets about 40 WHP. Both of these numbers are somewhat higher if you have a good catback exhaust, and better still if you're using a midpipe or high flow cat.

sorry omicron your wrong i read somewere that there not sure could be 40 to 55 hp correct me if iam wrong anyone they were waiting to test it.
