I think he's refering to EcuTek stage 3 tune which I don't see anywhere? I did notice he have the stage 2 tune already.

Ecutek is tuning software. Ecutek does not distribute staged tunes, tuners that use ecutek distribute tunes. Hence the question, which website.. or asked in another way.. which tuners stg 3 tune?

tuners throw the "stage" nomenclature around like Chris Brown throws his fists in a room full of women.

if OP is looking to buy the next highest stage, i'll sell them a stage 4 floormat for $600.

Buy the tune that best fits your supporting mods. Don't get caught up in marketing

I would think that "stage 3" would be forced induction.

I know EcuTek does not distribute staged tunes. Sorry should have made it clearer. I thought about FT86SpeedFactory since they has the tunes named as Ecutek Stage 1 tune, Ecutek Stage 2 tune, etc. That's what I meant.

Damn, that's a lot of stages there. That stage 4 floormat for $600 sounds like a good deal! How much hp/tq does that gain? haha.

Stages are for acting. See above. Find a competent tuner who will provide a tune to suit your car and your cars mods.

Like xjohnx said, stages don't mean anything in a general sense. Tuners use them as "branding" for various things. One tuner's "stage 2" may be identical to another tuners "base tune".

So depending on what tuner we're talking about, it could mean different things. Any ECUTek tuner on this forum will provide you a tweaked tune for your specific car and mods as part of your purchase.
