I don't have a GT myself, but it is my understanding that yes, if you add the Stage 1 kit to a 180hp engine, it will be upgraded to the 220 hp. The engine is the same except for the computer and the injectors, etc.

also the stock 180hp turbo runs on regular gas once you start adding to it will probably require high test.

TangerineDream has added the Stage 1 kit he could give you more info

See my thread "DC chasing away enthusiest". Up until today, I have been a proud Mopar fan all my life. DC's attitude of suing enthusiast for trademarks and such is causing me to rethink my loyalty.

so your saying if i add the MOPAR upgrades it will void my warrenty even if a mopar dealer installs it?

yup, some dealer might tell you another story, but dont be fooled, its not the dealer who decide but DC...

Your best bet is to get what you want the first time. That is, get the warranted turbo power of the GT (and the very nice Getrag "rock crusher" manual tranny as well). I think you'll be happier in the long run.
