Incorrect. Only DP's are required for Stage 2. Upgraded intake is recommended.

Just tossed on the Cobb last night. Love the power increase for STG 1 very noticable. Thanks for all the work!

Enjoy it. Its a NICE bump from stock. Infact, the only bad thing about the AP is that you'll get the urge for "just one more mod" and a couple grand later you're still itching for just a little more power. Its how it happened to me....

Exactly.. "Just a little more" is definitely the curse of starting to mod the car.

I just realized that I picked the wrong (91)map-I'll take it out for a spin, then switch to the 93 linear. As tempting as it is, the only thing I'll be upgrading is the intercooler (got a Helix sitting in my basement). Next I'll be addressing suspension; currently have H&R Touring Cup kit installed, but the rear doesn't feel planted @ speed...and we all know power is nothing without control.

Give the stock throttle map a shot while you're at it. The linear is a bit boring. If you like the feel of your car throwing you back in your seat then you will love the stock throttle map.

Put that Helix on! I installed my intercooler yesterday and it feels great! No stutter due to lack of air but this is combined with my intake which was installed a couple of days ago.

IMHO the linear maps suck. Im fortunate in that my AP came loaded with the V301 maps, which is THE stage 1 map to have. Ive actually switched from stage 2(waiting on ETS FMIC to arrive so i can run stage 2+) back to stage 1 V301 just because of how much more responsive it is.

^THIS, your rear tires must be hating you so much with that... hahahahaha

I guess I'm in the minority that thinks that the linear throttle maps are the best...
