Steeda does make an awesome unit, had one on my 07 and now my 2012, if you are looking to save some cash(like $100) though the JLT will give you the same performance, just wont look as nice, quality isn't as good, both will last you as long as you own the car though im sure.
My first tune on my 2012 was I beliece from SCT for a Steeda intake. got it from a local performance shop. Then he ordered me a tune from BBR. I can't really tell the difference between tunes like some people say they can.
On my '07 Brenspeed did a great job, I liked their tunes but I do hear more reports of cyl #8 issues from them than others. but who knows with these engines, it could just be bad luck whoever gets the problem.
Right now if I had been stock and looking for an intake+tune combo I'd go with BAMA, the warranty would give me so much peace of mind it would be nice. But I don't qualify for the warranty because I had a tune from someone else already. I'll just cross my fingers and hope I'm not one of the unlucky few to blow a piston... although with what i put as my vehicle maybe i'm pushing my luck.

Thanks for choosing Steeda, you won't be disappointed! Some folks tune for higher dyno numbers in exchange for less reliability/safety. We compromise a couple HP here and there for better reliability/safety and great power gains throughout the entire power band.

That's what made me go ahead and pull the trigger and not be worried about anything happening. I don't want unreliable being as this is my DD. Thanks for everything brandon. Can't wait to hear the cam idle tune with my rousch axelbacks.

No parts came in today. Parts haven't been shipped yet. Waiting on new shipment of tuners. Hopefully have this week sometime. Thanks to brandon and tj for all of their help finding out what the delay was for. The waiting and anxiety is killing me. Plus never acquired the virtue: patience. Lol.
