Probably the money.............
When you drop that kind of money on k04's and pipes adn hardware install rental cars for the down time it all adds up. I have dropped some change on my car this summer. But I bought my fueling before I had my k04's in.

The inability of the rest of the cooling systems to keep up even at 3-
I'm investing in oil cooling, intercoolers, brake cooling, etc before I even think about going full stage 3. Additionally, the car is already more powerful than 98% of the other cars I run with; it's ME that needs to improve - more power won't do anything for me right now.
Lastly, a less track-oriented reason is that the car has been running FLAWLESSLY, so why mess with perfection?

My reasons are that...
even at 3- my car easily overpowers the stock suspension, which is something that I'll be addressing soon. I think that the stock brakes can handle the power for the occasional liberal application of the right foot, but I'm becoming something of a track junky and have felt them start to give way after a few good laps. With 3- programming I saw an opportunity for a modest power increase over stage 2+, without taxing the stock suspension and brakes much further. After my last trip to Lime Rock, it was apparent to me just how much everything was overpowered within my first couple laps around the track.
Money is definitely a factor for me as well, as I'm a full time student and taking 4 summer classes (big mistake?). Working only 3 days a week puts a cap on my income, which makes it a bit easier for me to delay some mods, although I'm not any less tempted.
Basically, supporting mods are my next priority, and money is delaying everything.
