I have the rev it up kit and like it. Makes a nice power gain. It also has the ability for furture mods like stage 2-3 and so on.

Why not just wait a couple of weeks? With the GMPP kit's coming out anytime now, who knows what could happen? They might totally blow the competition out of the water

this is the best pick...not so much about blowing anyone out of the water...if intense or revitup get their hands on the codes for the pcm.....hold on for some more hp

I'm hoping to have stage 2 installed on the redline by the end of next week so I can put it on our new dyno and get some results. Then it's right on to stage 3.

Ok, well I had the same dillema...Either company you go with you will be making a good choice....It's all about personal preference...

First, I wanted to go with Rev It Up, since they are local and everything is pre-tuned, that means no tuning at all which saves some headaches... The one downfall I find is that you have to solder it in your PCM harness, which for me I would rather not do, but it is not the biggest deal in the world either...

I decided on INTENSE when they released the plug and play version of their kit which made it much more appealing to me and thats what made me want the INTENSE kit...If you decide on the INTENSE kit, you have to keep in mind you want to invent in a scan tool and a wideband A/F ratio gauge... The one downfall of the INTENSE kit is you have to tune the kit, the MAF-T comes preset with the settings they found to work best, but you may have to alter the settings some....

The clutch will have to be replaced sooner as well, with the new found power, so expect to invest in a new high performance clutch...

Again, either company is great...Both companies will eventually come out with more power adders....

It's your choice you pick the kit that will work best for you...

I will be disconecting my rev it up kit and installing the gm stage 2 kit. Then I will bring my car over to rev it up and see if they can get some more power out of the car with there piggyback reinstalled on the dyno.
