The term "Stage 1" etc. is pretty "old," if you will.
Also, Buick had this terminology on some of its cars during the early seventies. I had a friend who had a "Stage One" Skylark with a 350 V-8.
It actually said "Stage One" on the air cleaner, IIRC.

I think earliest use of " Stage " to represent a level of performance tuning was for the early 60s Sunbeam Tiger with LAT ( Los Angeles Tiger ) Stage 1 tuning kit ( solid lifter cam, higher-rate valve springs, recurved distributor, 4-barrel Holley carb ).
Land Rover did a Stage 1 in the early 80's I think :lol: .
