Actually, the stg 2's make power in excess of 6500 rpm. Yes in order to rev there safely in a 2v you will need to rebuild your bottom end, but you can still see hella gains between 3k-6k rpm with just valvesprings.

What about some Alum Patriot heads and stage II cams?I talked to Nossy and he said that combo will give ya 80rwhp. The built heads are $1699.

well im still confused about which to get im really leaning toward the stage 2's cause I have decided AGAINST using nitrous IM not suitable to handle it. i would prolly blow myself up with it lol.. I just want the car to pull to 6k but still be making power. So the stage 2's fit thta better than the stage 1's. I know i will lose low end torque with the stage 2's but thats why i have 4.30's in the rear of the car so that takes care of that.

For a stock bottom end motor, go with the Stage 1's. There is a guy on the Mustang board, I am a Moderator on that has the Stage 1's and he loves them. He has a sound clip with open long tubes...let me see if I can find it.

Wow it sounds like it has a really bad miss, no wonder why it is taking two weeks to get it tune. J/K, I wish my Mustang would 'miss' like that.
