    Going to make some upgrades soon. Don't know to go with APR Stage 1 or S4 Grill, honeycomb fogs, front lip?? Around the same price. I don't have a Windows laptop (Mac 4l Life). Do you need Windows to manage APR Stage 1? Going APR since I have a local rep. Advice please...

    Go stage 1 you won't regret it, if you have extra money going from stock straight to stage 2 would be a huge difference

    Roughly a grand. $250 for the HFC + install + ECU tuning. YMMV with state inspection at stage 2, though.

    What brand HFC did you go with? I don't think APR has one yet for the 8.5 do they? I have APR stage 1 and debating on stage 2 or dumping this damn CVT tranny car and getting something different. This lag is killing me.
