Here's a graph of Stock (Base) vs Stage 1 (Test)


Not much of a gain and not worth $645 in my book. The stage 2 is much better (20+whp gain), but is not easily reversible to stock like the stage 1...

stop magazine racing - i have basically the same engine in the LGT, and there is DEFINITELY a difference. (does the '06 WRX have active valve VTEC-type stuff? AVCS, or whatever Subaru calls it?)
feels like a dog if going back to base map. $645 gets you stage1 AND stage2, and is the best bang-for-buck around. stage2 is more of an obvious gain from what i've heard, but stage1 is no slouch.
