Just so ya know...

Jim, I got your Stage 1's (premium) last year, no chip I noticed a little power gain and a little more smoke. After Stage 1's, I found my DMF was bad so that got me a Valair clutch. Then I couldn't afford the chip, I picked up a used Superchip 1700 micro tuner for cheep, it has two power tunes or programs off road and tow, and of coarse stock. I did notice quite a difference in both, but have really used the Tow, 14K 5er. Now I need the intercooler, then I'll try a chip. Just wondering how much difference it might make with a good chip?

Oh, I didn't realize that...

If I ever go bigger it'll probably be hybrids. A lot more tuneable than single shots and less oil needed.

Keep in mind that if you plan on getting stage 1's in the future, you can get ur chip custom tuned for stage 1's and run stock injectors. That way, when you get your injectors you don't have to send your chip in to get reburned.

You do understand that hybrids are single shots...

So I am not quite sure what your talking about.

I am getting a lot of good feedback on the 30% nozzle on a set of 160 cc Stage-1's, with and without tuning.
I wish I had a local guy to run these so I could see for myself.

Not really as local as I was hoping for, but I can make you a package deal on injectors and chip if you want.

Im a little more away from you Jim, but if you want to "test" them in a different country, different wheater, different elevation over sea leavel, listening a different lenguaje, etc, etc., COUNT with me with no expenses for my labor unistalling and installing them. OK?

BTW I can pay the shipping and handle. LOL

Understandable, but I will be up in your neck of the woods on the 20th.

I'll look to get a package deal when some more cash comes in.

What I was trying to say is that the regular BIG single shots (Stage 3's, etc.) require a lot more oil to run than hybrids do. So I would rather spend the extra money on hybrids which you can tune a lot more than a dual HPOP system...
