Once fitted you won't be able to drive the car or even start it as the airflow is vastly different from factory. Ideally you would fit them to a built motor but I did it simply as a tuning exercise. Fuel economy is pretty horrendous, especially on e85 so keep that in mind. When tuned correctly the Stage 4's won't lope at idle and pretty much sound and behave like a factory car. 1
Porko Member 9 Member For: 12y 6m 8d Posted 20/05/14 02:19 AM Author Posted 20/05/14 02:19 AM Ahhhk I've done a bit of work to it, upgraded oil lines, garret gtx3582r, twin 044's, process west surge tank, upgraded Intercooler, 1600cc injectors and plazmaman fuel rail, 4inch turbo back xforce exhaust, 4 inch plazmaman intake and performance valve springs are going in soon. Was wondering what brand and what stage would u recommend for this setup?

I'm thinking about throwing atomic 4.5s in my built engine. Will be running E85.

If you're using e85 daily, stick with the stock cams IMHO. If it's a race car....go minimum Stage 4. 1
