PERFORMANCE PACKAGES
Five packages. No guesswork.
Vengeance Racing's Stage 1 through Stage 5 packages are the result of thousands of dyno pulls and years of builds on these platforms, narrowed down to five packages that actually work, not five ways to upsell you into the next one.
Each package is a complete job, engineered and sold on its own. Stage 1 isn't step one of something bigger waiting behind it, it's the finished build for the driver who wants a specific, provable gain today. Same for Stage 3. Same for Stage 5. That said, plenty of clients start at Stage 1 or Stage 2 and come back a year or two later ready for Stage 4 or Stage 5, once they've lived with the car and decided they want more. Most of them do. These packages are built with that in mind: buy the one that fits where you are right now, and when you're ready for more, call the shop first so VR can quote around what's already on the car instead of selling you a duplicate part.
These packages keep moving, too. As new parts prove out and better combinations get validated on the dyno, the parts list behind each stage gets updated to match. What's on this page is the current version of years of ongoing work, not something written once and left alone.
Every package includes professional installation, a full street and dyno calibration, a color printout of your before and after results, and the Vengeance Racing Limited Warranty. Find the stage that fits below, or call the shop and we'll help you land on the right one.
FINDING YOUR STAGE
Most conversations start with what the car needs to do, not a stage number.
Want more without touching the engine: Stage 1 or Stage 2.
Want the factory blower working as hard as it can: Stage 3.
Want a fully built car: Stage 4.
Want the most this platform will give: Stage 5.
Have a specific number in mind and not sure which stage gets you there: call the shop. That's a five-minute conversation, not a guessing game.

THE FIVE STAGES (FACTORY FORCED INDUCTION)
Here's the ladder, written the way we'd explain it to someone standing in the shop asking “which one do I want?” No parts lists here, just what each stage is for and who it's for. Exact parts, fitment, and pricing live on the platform-specific pages, linked further down.
Where it sits: the cheapest real horsepower on the car, and the foundation everything else is built on.
Stage 1 is for the owner who wants their car to feel like it should have from the factory. Better breathing, more boost, and a calibration built around the result. Nothing gets opened up. The car stays a daily, stays on pump gas, and stays in warranty-friendly territory for most people.
If you’re not sure where to start, start here.
Where it sits: still a daily, still pump gas, just not quiet about it anymore.
Stage 2 is Stage 1 plus a real exhaust. Long tubes and a full system let the engine exhale, and the car stops sounding like it just came off the lot. This is the point where it announces itself before anyone sees the badge. Power climbs, but honestly, most people who pick Stage 2 do it for the sound and the character as much as the number.
Still a daily. Still pump gas. Just no longer quiet about it.
Where it sits: the last stage before the engine comes apart.
Stage 3 stops adding parts around the supercharger and starts working on the supercharger itself. Ported, re-geared, better airflow in and out, and the fuel system upgraded to keep up. This is where you extract everything the factory blower is actually capable of.
Stage 3 is for the owner who’s decided this is a serious car, not a mildly modified one. It’s the last stage before the engine comes apart.
Where it sits: where the car stops sounding modified and starts sounding built.
Stage 4 is a different class of build. The valvetrain comes apart and a custom camshaft goes in, backed by the hardware to support it. This is where the car stops sounding modified and starts sounding built. Idle changes. Powerband changes. Character changes.
Stage 4 is for people who are done with bolt-ons and want the car to actually be a Vengeance Racing car. Longer in the shop, more money, and worth it if that’s what you’re after.
Where it sits: the ceiling. Past this, you’re not modifying the engine anymore.
Stage 5 is everything Stage 4 does, plus CNC-ported cylinder heads. It’s the most the factory supercharger will give you while the car still drives on 93 octane and still behaves on the street.
Stage 5 is the end of this road. Past this point you’re not modifying the engine anymore, you’re replacing what’s on top of it. If you want the maximum version of this platform without changing what it fundamentally is, this is it.
Each stage includes everything below it, so you’re never paying twice. Start where your budget lands, and step up later if you want.

EXPLORE BY PLATFORMS
This page explains what each stage means in general. Exact parts, fitment, and pricing are specific to the platform, a supercharged LT4 and a naturally aspirated LT1 don't hit the camshaft or the cylinder heads at the same stage number. Find your car below for the exact build.
What's the difference between a VR Stage 1 and a Stage 5 package?
Stage 1 is the right first move: better breathing, more boost, and a tune, nothing opened up. Stage 5 is the ceiling: a full built engine with CNC-ported heads, the most the platform can give while it still drives on pump gas. Stage 2 through 4 close that gap in order, exhaust, then the supercharger, then the camshaft, and each stage includes everything below it, so moving up never means paying for the same part twice.
Do the parts in each package ever change?
Yes. As new parts prove out and better combinations get validated on the dyno, the exact components behind a stage get updated to match. The stage number and what it’s built to accomplish stay the same. The specific parts list is always the current, proven version, not a fixed spec from years ago.
Do I have to start at Stage 1, or buy them in order?
Not required, but it’s the sensible place to start for most owners, and if you’re not sure, start there. Each stage includes everything below it, so there’s no repurchasing lower-stage parts if you move up later. Plenty of clients do start at Stage 1 or 2 and come back for Stage 4 or 5 once they’ve lived with the car and want more, that’s normal and expected. Buy the package that fits your car and your goals right now, and call the shop when you’re ready for the next one.
I already have some parts installed, like a cold air intake or headers. Does that count toward a higher stage?
If VR installed your current stage, moving up is straightforward, the shop’s records already show what’s on the car. If you installed parts yourself or through another shop, call before ordering online. VR can quote around what’s already there instead of billing you for a duplicate part.
Is a Stage 3, 4, or 5 build still reliable as a daily driver?
Stage 1 and 2 builds are built to be invisible day to day. Stage 3 and up ask more of the owner, higher octane, a different idle, more attention, in exchange for more output. VR will tell you straight whether a given stage fits how you actually plan to drive the car.
Does every VR package come with a warranty?
Yes. Every stage includes the Vengeance Racing Limited Warranty, a full street and dyno calibration, and a color printout of the before and after dyno results.
What if my car doesn't fit neatly into a stage, or I have a specific horsepower target?
Custom builds are a normal part of what VR does. Bring in the target number and the intended use, and VR specs a package to hit it.
Do the stages look the same across every platform?
No. The stage number tells you where a package sits on the intensity scale, foundation, airflow, supercharger, camshaft, ceiling, not a sequence you have to move through. What’s actually in each stage is specific to the engine and platform. A naturally aspirated platform has no supercharger stage to optimize, so the camshaft and cylinder heads can land earlier in its lineup than they do on a supercharged LT4.
