I was browsing those today.

they have a complete long block...which is interesting...not that I am about to do it with the piddly mods I have.

stage 1 seems enough for 99% of builds at 750whp but stage 2 gets a closed deck.

I dont know how they can say "we believe this product is either CARB EO exemption applicable, or complies with the EPA's Anti-Tampering Policy" when they do a valve job and use larger intake valves.

This means the car needs a tune and isnt going to be a plug and play for an exemption.

Not that anyone buying the stage 3 will be running a factory tune.

$25 for stage 3 is fair as an over the top sleeved motor for a WRX in 2016 was around $15 built by a local shop.

I just checked and a long block from IAG for the EJ is around $17 and good for 1150 horsepower.

It is not a horribly expensive margin they are charging.
