The XEDE stage zero seems to fit my needs very well and am very interested in it for it's flexibility later down the line should I wish to upgrade or modify. If I already have another brand of up-pipe (Bosal) and crank pulley (Perrin), will the v280 map work with these parts or will it need to be tweaked?

Thanks for your time...

Sure will. Not a problem. However, lightwieght pullies are pretty much worthless. Only time your going to make any signficant amount of power with a pulley will be through slightly underdriving the accessories. Taking away 3-4lbs of rotating mass that is rotating just inches from the center of rotation doesn't result in any substantial improvements in engine response. A good underdrive pulley will result in 7-10hp gains when tested in controlled conditions on a dyno. I have yet to be able to document any gains of a lightweight pulley under any conditions.

Just an FYI

Thanks Shiv. I haven't bought the pulley yet, but I do have the up-pipe. My main concern was with A/C and electrical load. I've heard mixed reviews on underdriven pullies so I still need to research it more. I want the power, but don't want to sacrifice comfort (my wife would kill me)...

Appreciate your time!

I understand your concern but our UD pulley will not have any effect on your accessories. I promise Some are too underdriven. Others not enough. Like Goldilocks said, our pully is *just right*

Sorry to resurrect this old post. Thanks for all your input before. I am piecing together my Stage Zero kit now. I just found a used Vishnu underdrive pulley from an i-Club'er to go with my Bosal uppipe. Installed it and love it! You're right...it's "just right". I plan on coming in for the Stage Zero reflash when I get the uppipe in.

Question: After looking at earlier Stage Zero kits (back when you used Unichip-see attached photo), they used cooler spark plugs. I no longer see cooler plugs listed as part of your package. Are cooler plugs still part of the Stage Zero package while using a reflash or XEDE piggyback system from you guys?

Thanks!

Was an answer ever given for this?

Not yet...do you know the answer to this? Or do you just want to know the answer like me? Thanks for the bump!

I doubt the plugs are still a part of the package.....they however might be useful to fend off a little detenation here and there.
