So you pay $795 for stage I, then another $795 for different software
giving you another 85 hp (total increase of 145 hp)? Correct? - Extraordinary!

Does anyone really understand what Ned is doing? If he's just extending the
max boost shut-off point from one value to another by changing some values
in a rom look-up table, why doesn't he just give you the max safe boost in
stage I? For another $795 I'd expect something more than an upgrade from
sub-optimal software to optimal. No flame > Ned intended, just wanna know
if there's more to stage II than different numbers in an eprom.
