Re: Stage one kit
I think getting the existing engine running correctly would be a good starting point.
Checking the air filter, spark plugs, ignition timing, fuel mixture, engine timing, compression etc. low cost stuff first.
Once you have a sound basis to start with then look at what would be considered the stage 1 stuff: better air filter, exhaust and inlet manifold etc.

Re: Stage one kit
It depends on what engine you are starting with . There are many different 998cc mini engins with different CR ,cams and final drive. If you don't know what you have put up the engine number.
