k so ive had my ST for awhile and i love it. im puttin down around 370rwhp w/ a cat but im startin to get used to the power. i want some more power, what next? keep note that i want it to be safe and reliable. i was thinkin a plenum or pulleys or something i would really like to get 400 but idk how safe it would be.

Don't hold your breath on the 1.5 kit. If you were thinking about getting the 1.5 then start designing/building your motor. Save $$ and skip the plenum and pulleys. 1.5 requires a build so you might as well start looking towards that direction.

compare the AAM fuel return to the CJM and you'll see what I mean.

Oops...my bad. You are correct. Subconsciously I have given up on Stage 1.5 so in my mind the next step after Stage 1 is a build.

TN stage 2 kit is coming out "any day now" and will still be "any day now" for the next couple years or so


get the CJM kit if you'd like a heavier duty kit and one that won't make the car smell like fuel
