Stage 1 (Ultima+) vs Stage 2 (Ultima-RS)

It would be a huge understatement to think the Stage 1 to Stage 2 jump is only worth an extra 35bhp. Yes, both tunes make their peak horse power around the 5500rpm mark and the peak power difference of the two tunes is 35bhp. However, As per the Stage 1 vs Stage 2 dyno graph, There are not only clear improvements, but substantial improvements throughout the entire rev range. To help put the the performance into perspective, ‘checkpoints’ have been highlighted across the dyno graph.

When analysing the mid range performance, you can see at around 4600RPM, The Stage 2 tune picking up a comfortable 27bhp and 32ftlbs torque. From thereon, the difference in the Stage 2’s performance continues to pull away from the Stage 1 at a phenomenal rate. As previously mentioned, around 5500rpm is where the both tunes are making their peak power with a 35bhp difference. However, at 5850RPM, The Stage 2 ST is actually making an extra 52bhp and 47ftlbs torque! As you can see on the graph, the Stage 2 ST manages to maintain this average superiority of 50bhp & 50ftlbs torque all the way to the rev limiter! (The difference in power from 5850rpm onwards here is even greater than Stock vs Stage 1!) meaning, you get to relive that huge increase in power feeling all over again. But this time, even better!

Stock vs Stage 2 (Ultima-RS)

Here is an interesting insight of how much performance can be unlocked from a stock ST when teamed up with this Ultima-RS (Stage 2) software and the Stage 2  supporting hardware.!

As per the graph,  it is not only peak performance improvements that are impressive. Here you can see there are phenomenal improvements throughout the entire rev range. In fact, even more power is gained at different intervals which can easily be overlooked. For instance, we are picking up an incredible 97ftbs of torque at around 3650rpm. Then, we are maintaining an average of 90ftlbs torque increase from 3500rpm which is held all the way to 6000rpm.
The horse power data also highlights breath-taking improvements at every stage! we are averaging mid-range increases just shy of 80bhp, where performance continues to grow quickly. At 5715rpm, the ST is making an genuine 100bhp over the stock ST!

Without question, the stage 2 package will provide a total transformation of your ST (for all the right reasons).
