Default Stages - what are they?

Searched some but no joy in defining S1,2,3. Is there a breakdown of what, exactly, the various stages include?

Thanks.

Stage 1 is an upgraded air cleaner and exhaust with a new map or jetting. I am not sure about 2 and 3.

ripoffs. The stage 1 kit is way overpriced and I would advise going with whatever pipes you like, Arlen Ness big sucker, and a power commander. This setup will net you a decent amount of additional horsepower and the power commander is adjustable for future upgrades.

I'm thinking this:
Stage 1= open intake, aftermarket exhaust, carb mods or fuel management
Stage 2= S1 = big bore /cams added, changed fuel delivery
Stage 3= S1+S2 built to race performance standards.
Just my thoughts don't bust my chops if I missed something.
