Congrats bro, some great numbers... I installed the stage 4 pro kit last month with D&D Fatcats, she runs like a raped ape. I believe the numbers were close to yours around 115ish. Quite happy so far so good!
I think it depends on how high your redline is. The more RPM's you can turn, the more HP you make. (given the proper camshaft and attending hardware, also some strong connecting rods, lightweight reciprocating assembly, etc.) The metrics rev to the moon and always have more HP than Tq.
The addition of ported heads and a 58mm throttle body is the biggest difference between the stage III and stage IV kits. Both share the same 10.5 pistons and SE259E cams.
Both the stage III and stage IV kits are well thought out upgrades, and I haven't heard of a single issue with them.
I was considering and am considering this option however I am concerned about the lower end not being addressed and how long it will last before one has to re-build that....Any speculation on longivity of the lower end before it has to be addressed for someone that wants to show off the potential of the motors full ability on occassion but rides rather conservativly...

Those numbers are very impressive. I would like to see the dyno sheet! If you have it post please. The concerns about the bottom end just keep coming, in fact there are more concerns about the bottom end than there are builds with bad bottom ends.
