when i'm ready to mod, i'm just going to go with an mps, injectors, and hopefully by then, dhp will have the powrtuner ready for it. i think you would be better off with injectors, pulley, and hptuners than buying one of those kits. they dont seem worth it to me and youll get better by tuning the car yourself. just IMHO. btw, if you guys are happy with intense and dont have any problems, i dont mean to take anything away from them. buy what works.

you say they hate on it. Intense seems to have more good reviews then bad ones.

I have Intense stage 3 and it runs great pulls MUCH harder. I need to get it on a dyno though and check out my a/f numbers though.

you dont have to go to a dealer. lots of performance shops also do case learns, and it would probly be cheaper that that dam.

this is the impresion that im getting when i researched their website. can some one help me out ple.

Same here...

I know that I want an Intense Stage 5 kit because If I go with the GM stage 2 Im going to want more power for sure. However The MAFT and the PCM has got me a bit confused. What I understood is that the car has to learn the CASE but the dealer has to reset the code? What happens if they reset the PCM you have to do the learn process again for the PCM or send the whole thing back?

Also I going to put the K&N CAI so do i need the MAFT now or what cause the site says to stick to stock.

Once you install the kit with the pcm you will have to go to the dealer and have them do the learn, but don't give the car over half throttle until this is done and as well you MUST make sure they understand not to reflash it and why. If they do a reflash then yes you will need to send it back.
