Predator 212 Hemi Stage 1 Speed Kit vs Predator Hemi Stage 2 Speed Kit

The Stage 2 is the stronger kit: it adds a Mod 2 camshaft and a bored .650 carburetor to the Stage 1 parts, taking output from about 10+ HP to 12+ HP without splitting the case. Both share the open air filter, choke bracket, upgraded springs, timing key and gasket, and both need an aluminum flywheel for safety since stock flywheels are prone to failure. The Stage 1 is the simpler, cheaper-feeling step up for a mostly stock engine; the Stage 2 is the one owners pick when they want real gains and are willing to tune a carb. Fitment is the catch: the Stage 2 is listed for the Hemi 60363 (210FA) with cast aluminum valve cover only, while the Stage 1 is aimed at 224cc Max Performance Hemi engines.

• Choose the Stage 1 kit if you want a straightforward bolt-on gain on a stock 212 Hemi and would rather not tune a carburetor or swap a cam.
• Choose the Stage 2 kit if you have the Hemi 60363 (210FA) and want the most power you can get without opening the crankcase.
