Cam ?
okay so ? is that it says on ttr, stage 1 is 2600-6800, stage 2 is 3000-7500. Is the stage 1 better because its more with in a reasonable span. Or is stage 2 better becasue your not limited on the top end?

just my opinion..but stage 2 seems to be the better deal...when I get my set I will get stg 2 because it has a longer powerband and you don't have to wait long to get into the band..plus you get the crucial extra power in the 7k+ rpms which will be nice when running WOT....I think stage 3 is a bit too long of a wait to get into the powerband and it may not do any good if you have an automatic and have had no tune to boost the redline...again..just my thoughts

stg 2 makes it LESS street drivable... ac makes vibes bad and it makes it harder to control at lower speeds....
that being said stg2 will make more power
so it depends on what you want
if it were me, and it were the only car avail to drive....then id go stage 1....if i had another car for when i just need to get somewhere, then i would get stg2

What about if you have an automatic with all bolt ons: CAI, header, cat back exhaust, 2.4 IM.
Because it's an automatic wouldn't only make sense to only get stage 1 because of never going over 6.5K?

well what hp differnence do you think were looking at and i feel stage one is better becasue I wont be abusing the powerband on stage 2 like if anything I would get rev limiter changed to 6900, maybe 7 and theirs still power after that... also so stage 2 is definatly gonna strain the engine more?

not gonna lie iam sooooo freaking confused which way to go. Iam so nervous Iam gonna get a build going then not have the mechanical skills or knowledge to complete it. Ive looked at the SC route and the part list is huge for that...Turbo I feel has to be fabricated unless I buy a kit, and N/A is exspensive but atleast makes sense to me

yeah but like, i dont even know how to find a turbo to fit a turbo manifold. It seems easier then supercharging though. Iam gonna have to get a complete parts list going this way i can start piecing something together.
and that would be like 210 crank? or is that to high

just find a turbo and manifold wit the same exhaust flanges. like T3 style or T25/28 style. if you got different flanges you can find the adapters on e-bay i believe
