1 tuning is the most common option. These tunes and mods generally do not
require additional mods. Simply add a stage 1 modification and go. Even though
most stage 1 tunes don’t require mods there are still some good mods to couple
with a stage 1 tune. An intake and exhaust are popular stage 1 mods to include
with the tune.Naturally
aspirated engines may only see about 5-20 horsepower gains with these basic mods
and tuning. However, turbo engines often see gains of 20-50+ horsepower with a
tune only. Add in the basic bolt-on mods, and some turbo engines may even pick
up around 100 horsepower with stage 1 tuning.Stage
1 mods generally include intakes, cat-back exhaust, blow-off valves, and other
basic bolt-on engine mods. Again, none of this is a perfect science. However,
the general idea is that stage 1 tuning and mods are basic things that usually
don’t require further modification.Typical
stage 1 mods are generally a straightforward DIY fit and should work on a
standard engine that is in good condition. Some examples of stage 1 mods
include, induction kits, panel air filters, sports exhausts, fuel pressure
regulators, a simple engine remap or timing changes, blow off valves/diverters
and the like. Most of these easy to fit stage one mods are the first thing
people will do on their project car. Just because they are popular it does not
mean they are good mods or will add any significant power
gains
