What leads you to believe it has a stage 4? Stage 4 usually refers to turbos, blower, nitrous, etc.

Generally accepted definitions
Stage 1 - intake, exhaust, tuner
Stage 2- Stage 1 + cams
Stage 3 - Stage 2 + headwork....blueprinted, porting, etc.
Stage 4 - As described avove.

^You forgot the big bore stage (stage 3), then stage 4 (headwork). A lot of times stage 3 and 4 are combined since the heads are pulled for bigger jugs. That is how he is at stage 4.

FWIW, I hate 'stages' strictly for this reason. I understand the need to try to classify different levels of mods/work; but between the HD forums and my Audi forums I am all staged out!
