well it gave me about 80 to 85 more horse at the wheels. The cost well I am not sure about the stage one that is in it now. I would give Mohamad a call at Swift racing he can give you a cost on that, tell him Ryan Sent ya. I am going for the stage 4 over the winter. I will have the stage 3 in it in a week. I hope to have at least 340 horse at the wheels with the stage 3.

Very nice...have you done anything to the transmission for the Stage 1 kit? For those that have a s/c on their car now, was just curious how far you can go with the stock tranny before you need to upgrade....

I have a SRT torque converter in it right now as well.

Brian I just dropped my car back off at Mo's and helped him with your car. We test fitted your intercooler, and also put your head, cam and vvti back in. Its looking good!!! I will have the stage 3 in by next week and hope to have yours up soon ( I think) not sure of mo's schedule.

I am sure that it will. The engine is pretty much put back together. I am out there helping as much as I can, and supplying as many extra parts for the cause. You and Me!! I am gonna try and help make a nice gauge cluster out of a pillar from another IS that gets stripped down soon. I will let ya know how it turns out. ANyway we will keep wrenchen....

Hmm, I think it probally takes 3 days depending on how busy he is. I had a few other things done so he had my car longer. I am sure it will take even less time for just the stage 1 and nothing else maybe a day or so. Mo is really the person to ask on that one.
