Thanks

Yes it will make a pretty decent difference. It will make ~290 whp with a modded airbox, DP and the stage 1 kit. You will be happy with it for a quite a while. Once you want more power get someone who knows what they are doing to tune over it and you will have more torque than you know what to do with.

I had to fight them to get Forbes to replace my cat when it blew up because i had the air box mod done. They said it caused my car to run lean and burn up the cat. I fought them for three days. And my car only had 22,000 KM.

pretty sure that cause the car has a wideband O2 it'd adjust the fuel trims to compensate...or i could be wrong.

Do the GMS1 you keep your warranty and if down the road you are unhappy you can tune on top. If you want to do both later down the road you would have to rebuy the gms1.

I just went today and bought my gms1 and will be installed on friday. I just went right up to the parts guy and gave him the number and what it was for, and said that the chevy dealer the next town over quoted me 520, so they sold it to me for 500 plus tax (I know people are gunna say CED or GM parts direct, but they gave me a great deal on the labor because I bought part there and im their first install).

So have fun with your install!!
