Has anyone upgraded to the Whipple Stage 1 or Stage 2 performance packages? Per their website:
"Stage 2 $995
The Whipple stage 2 maximizes the power output of the stock engine by running 91 octane or better, increasing the maximum spark advance, increased ignition power from the individual coils, denser air charge from the low temp thermostat, maximized air-fuel ratio in each individual cylinder and increased air flow from the hi-flow filter. Calibration increases torque levels throughout the entire rpm curve while making more peak hp for increased speeds.
Key features:
Hi-performance ECM calibration
Low-temp thermostat
Hi-flow K&N filter
5450 RPM limit
8% - 10% power increase over stock
Increased plaining ability with increased torque output
Stage 3 $4595
While Stage 2 gets peak power from the stock engine, Stage 3 combines power and looks together for a very unique package. After extensive testing, Whipple found the CMI E-Tops to produce the best power curves for the 496 engines. To go along with the stainless headers, Stage 3 incorporates a custom stainless engine cover to really dress the package up. Whipple then engineered a custom Stage 3 calibration that increases the maximum spark advance, ignition power from the individual coils, denser air charge from the low temp thermostat, maximized air-fuel ratio in each individual cylinder and increased air flow from the hi-flow filter. Calibration increases torque levels throughout the entire rpm curve while making more peak hp for increased speeds.
Key features:
Hi-performance ECM calibration
Low-temp thermostat
Hi-flow, custom billet flame arrestor
Polished stainless steel engine cover
Polished stainless steel CMI Platinum E-Tops
5450 RPM limit
12% - 15% power increase over stock
Over 40 foot pounds of torque over stock at 3500 RPM"
Anyone? Appreciate any feedback!
I put this in the Gear head section too.
