I'm running a stage 1 with heads/cam, MPI intake.... I should probably
invest in a stage 2 but not sure how much benefit that would gain vs. the
price... I would reccommend a stage 1 for a 318. As far as the source....
that's open to a lot of variables.... I would say try www.hughesengines.com
Dave has excellent cust. service, which is a top priority to me. You *may*
find better deals elsewhere, (IMO at the cost of service quality)
