Intense is better for gains and cheaper, but GMPP S2 is better for warranty.

I.E. You Keep you warranty with the GM kit and not with the Intense

The Dynos for the Intense kits are on their website and you could easlily find many dynos of GM S2 if you used the search button (not flaming).

Check the intense website and give the guys down in columbus a call they will be glad to give you some more info. They were very helpfull when i went down there to buy a new pulley. And if I'm not mistaking they now have a stage 5, always best when dyno tunned!!!!

I basically got Intense stage 5 and my car is in getting warranty work now. It depends on the dealer I'd say.

If your worried about dealers simply go and buy another PCM so if you ever have problems you can just simply change the pcm and pulleys and everything else out. Probaly a good days of work but worth it. Also, heres the thing with dealers. They want there money. So all you got to do is take it up to them and be like look this and this is happening. If they say well we cant do it because you voided the warranty with certain items, simply tell them that you will take everything off and go to another dealer that wants their money. They will take you. I did that with my Eclipse I use to have before I got my SS/SC this past friday. I broke 3 engine mounts and they said that I had to pay outright because I voided the warranty by dropping it so i told them that I would take everything back to the original and go to another dealer. well to make a long story short, i had my car worked on that day and when they called the warranty place they said it was not modified and I only paid 100 for it as my deductible. Dealers want their money so just remember that.

I would go Intense for power if you don't care about warranty. GM if you want to play it safe. Either one I would have custom tuned to get the best out of each kit. I have Stage 4 and love it 261hp 243tq tuned by Scott from Intense!! Intense is a great company with great customer service. But to each is own.
