Stage 1, Stage 2, Stage 3....what constitutes each stage?

[RKC03]

It may be a stupid question, but I'm not claiming to being the gearhead that some others may be.....am learning by asking....so, what goes into each stage of the builds from 1 to 3....I do appreciate the knowledge in here and am thankful that y'all are willing to impart some of it to us less knowledgeable....TIA         RKC03

Stage 1- Pipes and aircleaner up-grade. Can also do big bore.
Stage 2- Add cams to above and big bore if not done.
Stage 3- Add or re-work heads to both above.

My King has BB, cams, and SE heads, so am I correct in thinking I have a Stage 3?  RKC03

Stage 1- $500-$800
Stage 2- $800-$1400
Stage 3- $1400-$3000

Stock $0 and all the fun too

Stage 1 for my softtail was:

1. new air cleaner - K & N.
2. new S/E exhaust.
3. Re-mapp fuel injection, redline went from 5800 to 6200.

To increase the red-line I thought a person had to put in a different ignition module? Remapping allowed for the increase in RPM's?  RKC03

Most stage 1 MOCO maps will raise the rev limit a few hundred RPM, as will the Rev-Extend feature on the Power Commander, or if you use TTS, SEST, or SERT the revlimit can be set from 4000 to 7500.
