Good Idea silver. For us 3800sc owners, i think you need to change your stage 1 info. Dosen't a 3.4 pulley add 25hp and 50tq? Just pointing out your TQ numbers are a little low.
Thanks Taylor
The 3.4 adds about 30 hp and 50 ft-lbs torque, that'* right.
I didn't show any torque figures. :?
Those are hp ranges.

Feel free to offer your stage scale and maybe we can all come to agreement with one that is common for all.

The only problem with this with be the times will be to inconsistent. Too many factors will fall into play.

Yes, but what if you are making Stage 5 power, with not even all of the stage 3 mods?

Too true Roadrash. Well stages in that case. I was thinking however of approximate numbers like high 14'*/low 15'*.

Mostly based on engine, I do not think years matter all that much.

Well that was just a first stab. Let'* work on it.

240 - 280 hp --- Stage 1 - cold air, pulley
280 - 320 hp --- Stage 2 - Stage 1 + exhaust
320 - 400 hp --- Stage 3 - Stage 2 + cam, pulley, intercooler
400 - 500 hp --- Stage 4 - Stage 3 + heads, engine work, pulley
500+ ------------ Stage 5 ...... dbtk2

You are limited to about 400 WHP with the Eaton M90.

Stage 5 - Eaton M112, T04E Turbo.... etc etc.
