I wanted to see if it was really worth the upgrade for $7k. I dont race at the tracks. But I love extra pull at stoplights...

Just trying to find out if its worth the extra $$. Also, will this potentially cause more problems as far as reliability than my current stage 3 kit? thanks!

The Stages are somewhat different from tuners to tuners. What do you get with the $7k?

Yeah, the 'stages' are really a sales/marketing construct- a form of shorthand that consumers find comforting. (Crazy, huh? Tell your buddies you have a stage 5 and they are more impressed than if you run down the list of 12 individual mods... Plus it make people feel as if there is something more 'complete' when it has a single name.)

Complicating it, a tuners stage 3 from 4 years ago may be different than today.

What do you have, what are you considering? Parts, not stages.

But the short answer will be....

Yeah, go for it.
