Am I correct to assume that the VT stage 1's will give a nice lope and still be okay with stock bottom end?

With the Stage I's, do you have to replace the springs as well? I have heard you don't, but is it something that is suggested to do anyway?

I went with the 2s, and until I got FI (and had enough airflow to take advantage of them) I was wishing I had gotten stage 1s. The 2s only make more power than the stockers from about 5300+ RPM. I only picked upa bout 18 WHP peak, but I did pick up 30 WHP at redline (6000 RPM).
It was a decent mod, but with the 2s you have to do valvesprings, and when all was said and done (install, tune, chip, cams, springs) I was into it for over 1700 bucks. IMO its only really worth it on a bolton only carif you are already planning on getting the car tuned (aka you were gonna spend the money on the tuner and tune anyway) and you can do it yourself (install) or get a great deal on install price.
