Stage 1 Jet Performance Module
This stage allows our customers, with stock or barely-modified vehicles, to use a performance module with less expensive, lower octane fuels (87 octane). With Stage 1, the programming is set to burn fuel at peak efficiency resulting in not only optimal performance, but gas savings as well.
Stage 2 Jet Performance Module
This stage is designed for those who are, what we call, "performance junkies"; these astute automotive enthusiasts have heavily modified cars and trucks. A "Stage 2" is for our really special customers who do use higher octane fuels (requires use of 91 octane or higher). A Stage 2 Performance Module features the most extensive programming to enhance horsepower to it's greatest potential and maximize torque. Fuel and timing curves are modified extensively for peak performance and drivability. This stage also requires the use of a 180 degree thermostat and free flow exhaust. An Aftermarket Air Intake System is highly recommended for a Stage 2 Performance Module.

I wonder what kind of results you can get if you use a Stage 2 on a stock H2 on premium gas?

WTH, I just bought one too. I trust the opinions of the people who liked them. And if it turns out to be a dud, DAJC and I can feel stupid together!
I think Elcova should get a kick-back from
PerformanceCenter.com

I surely could use this with my s/c can't I?

Yes, but I would call to see if they recommend type I or II. That should be sweet!

I would be very careful running either stage 1 or 2 with a supercharged set up, most of these will advance timing so that can be a problem...... however I have been told by a respectable tuner that GM typically has a pretty lean fuel trims in thier programs and that even though it sounds wierd he has gotten more power and better MPG's by fattening up the tables. If this chip tends to add more fuel you may be able to get away with it. Any case I would recommend contacting a reputable tuner or the manufacturer to make sure you dont have an issue with pre ignition or leaning out on boost.

A generic, maybe even dumb, question: Why would you go with a chip such as the Jet instead of a programmer like Hypertech or Superchips? Is it just a matter of cost, or is there some other benefit? Just curious.

Thanks,
