Stage Is = easily noticable difference, probably attributable to the efficiency of a rebuilt injector
Stage Is + tuning = huge difference

It was a big difference. Yesterday when I test drove it it was raining and at 45 if I rolled into the go pedal the tires would break lose easy. This morning when I was getting on the interstate I gave it about 3/4 pedal and before u knew it I was at 80.

The new truck bug has been biting me pretty bad lately. I'm either going to have to get injectors and new tuning or get a new truck.

Glad they are running good without any issues Mike. Most of all I'm just glad someone is getting to enjoy them again rather than having them sitting here. I know I enjoyed the heck out of them. It's surprising the difference that just stage 1's make in how the truck responds.

What are the symptoms of hydrolock? and why was that? How did you resolved it?.

In other hand, congrats for your new stage 1s

I didn't get all the oil out of number 8 cylinder. I bump it over a coue times and when I went to crank it the engine didn't spin. I pulled the GP's outand cranked it over to blow the oil out
