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.
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.

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