Looks like it is the same kit as GM is putting out. Don't know if it is licensed by GM though.

I guess you could ask them if it is the GM kit or just a "copy" of the GM kit.

I e-mailed j-body, and this is what I got.


Original E-Mail:
Is this the actual GM kit or just similar to or a "copy" of it?


Response:
actual. However, it is not yet released.

Will I get half the mileage or will it not make too much of a difference?

ull get pretty much the same mileage if u drive it like before, unfortunately u will be going wot to hear the blower and to feel more power, so it will probably go down.

I doubt very much it would lower your mileage by half. But its hard to say considering nobody has one yet. my guess would be moderate reduction in city driving and mild reduction in highway driving...but thats just a guess

OK, I will do it then..... it will be a great addition for spring. Yeah you are right, I will want to go like hell all the time.... therefore worse gas mileage, speeding tickets and higher insurance...... Oh well its worth it.

Good god...if you are worried about gas mileage, why do you own an SS
Mines just brutal but then again I have a Daily, so thats not really an issue.
