The meaning of stage

Understanding the term remap (reprogramming, remapping), let's look at this word that is often mentioned: STAGE . In English, stage means numerous things, including: stage, phase, level, phase, scene.
It is widely used in the area of dramaturgy, in terms related to theater. And it also has meaning for the automotive world: level, stage, phase. It is under this concept that we will explain the difference between what is remap stage 1 and stage 2.
Before that, it is important to make it clear that each company establishes its parameters of what it considers Stage 1 and Stage 2. What we present below are the stages applied within all franchises Strike Brasil under the concept that we defined as a standard to be a single language among our software engineers, units and customers.
Stage 1
Modification for those who want to increase the power and torque of their vehicle safely and without the need to replace mechanical components. Stage 1 is a vehicle preparation done via standard software, meaning no mechanical alterations are required.
Our programs are always developed within the safety margin of the vehicle/machine. We will never use excessive power and torque that could prematurely damage the assembly.
The gains start at 15% in power and torque and go up to an incredible 65%, depending on the vehicle. Among the numerous advantages, we can highlight three main ones: more power, more productivity, and more safety when overtaking.
Remap Stage 1 is recommended for most services and is suitable for all vehicles and agricultural machinery.

Stage 2
This reprogramming seeks even greater power and torque than in Stage 1, with software aimed at high performance. A service offered to those looking to get even more power from their vehicle with some small interventions in the mechanical part.
Suitable for turbocharged or supercharged cars (in some cases, large naturally aspirated engines can also do Stage 2 , such as the Camaro 6.2L V8, for example).
For diesel vehicles, Stage 2 combines the power increase service with the DPF and EGR troubleshooting service . This service is recommended for those seeking more power, torque, improved fuel economy, and enhanced drivability.
