I think if anything, I would want to know the list of modifications that a person has, instead of knowing what stage they are at. Like you said, "sometimes a person will think that everything they do to their Z is a stage", which obivously shows that stages don't mean anything when people use the term loosely. Which is why I said stages don't mean anything because the guy that I replyed to said stage 10 would be upgraded turbo's but on the Stillen chart its different and also on the SGP chart. Plus there are two charts out there SGP and Stillen. So when someone tells us a stage it doesnt really show anything because they need to A) either tell us what stage they are at or B) tell us what modifications they have to confirm what stage they are truely at. So, I guess in some ways stages guage the level of power we are at but in others it doesnt really tell us everything because its interpreted loosely... -Jeff
