As far as I know, Stage I and II are basically the same program; the only difference is the sport exhaust. I already had a 3" low-restriction exhaust (not the Saab part) and I got the Speedparts Stage II which adds a healthy dose of pick-up. My mileage in LA traffic is slightly worse (16/17 vs 17/18 in all urban, no highway driving). But that could also be the hotter weather the last few months or my heavy foot. On the highway, I get about about the same mileage (30mpg or so) in extended freeway cruising at 70 + or -. Anyway, you don't upgrade these engines to improve fuel economy.... If we had 93 octane gas here in LA, well... we can dream.
I also have the SAs bar and 4xKonis. I'd say with the Stage I, the rear bar and a K&N filter you will be pretty far along toward where you want to be, if not there. Go for that, then see if you even want to do more.
