As Foobar mentioned, different tuners have different definitions for what the stages mean.

Our stage 1 tune covers any N/A (naturally aspirated) modifications (or completely stock car) while using the stock header.

Our stage 2 tune covers any N/A modifications while using an aftermarket header. I have developed optimized tunes for equal length and unequal length headers, as there are differences between the two.

You would not want to run our stage2 tune with the stock header. You could run our stage1 tune with an aftermarket header, but to maximize your gains, you would want our stage2 tune with an aftermarket header.

Certainly being a newbie here but why wouldnt I select stage 2 over stage 1? Is it simply different tunes that offer different driving experiences?
