Theres always a chance of going into limp mode or getting a fuel cut with just st2. Just keep checking your Cam and follower and youll be good.

but in all seriousness, you will be happy with it. fuel cuts are more likely to happen down low in the rev range where there is plenty of air flow, but not so much fuel pressure (pump is rpm dependent). i went 2+ days after going stg 2, so i cant tell you about long term, but i did like the stg 2 file while i was on it

i have APR stage 2 with carbonio intake and ATP-type (catless 3") downpipe. the torque is awesome and the power is decent, you'll be so happy once you do it. it does leave a little to be wanted around 5k+ rpm but that's what we get with stock hpfp and a small, high-boost motor.

fuel cuts are more likely to happen down low in the rev range where there is plenty of air flow, but not so much fuel pressure (pump is rpm dependent)

not so sure why you say this... down low there is plenty of fuel available to keep up with the air supply, and that's where the monstrous torque comes in. above 4k rpm or so, there is so much air coming in that sometimes the requests for fuel are too great for the hpfp, thus i get occasional fuel cut around 4-5k in 5th gear (not going that fast very often anyway). it just feels like misfires, not a very good feeling but it's normal and i don't mind it until i can afford the 2+ setup.
