Hmm sounds like you are a good candidate for some rods, pistons, and more boost. :D

Its funny that you mention that - its been on my mind. But more boost would require so many other things. Wish it was as easy as turning up the boost 3 lbs. Anyway, I promised I would atleast wait 1 yr into the warranty and at least until the C6 is out. I'm just glad I have this power right now - I really needed it bad! I often ask myself, "Remember how it was like at stock? How in the hell did you last that long?"

Isnt the stage 2 package the same as the stage with forged internals and the boost cranked up a little. NOthing against LPE, but you could probably have a machinist do the internal work and turn up the boost yourself for pretty cheap.

Somewhat. I don't know how much building teh bottom ends needs to get the extra 100 ponies of boost. It most likely needs larger injectors, different fuel pump. Not sure about rods etc or whatever else.
