Thanks for the update. After 4500+ miles, most areas seem to be consistant.

Was especially curious to view the fuel & water results.

 

I'm looking for the fuel to go down at next sample with the Stage 1 installed.

Do you have your stage 1 yet?
Tom

 

Yes. I installed it a few hundred miles before the last sample.

Vince

 

What do you think? So far so good??? Too early to tell???

 

compaddict...

Your silence on what you think of the performance of the stage one is not comforting. You are generally one of the best skeptics the forum has and usually enligthen us with your views on this sort of thing.
Tom

 

Sorry about that, I thought you were asking about the oil report!

The Stage one I think does what is claimed. I haven't done any dyno testing but from what I feel so far I really like.

More later!!
