RE: Attention GMS CAI users...

I have to force myself to stay calm whenever threads go so far offtopic. Your question was basically - does the GMS CAI work and if so, is there an accompanying increase in mileage.
The answer to both are 'Yes'
I have seen a 1.5 to 2 mpg increase since installing: computer verified by manual calculations at the pump.
I have seen a noticeable increase in HP - I haven't dynoed, but have seen other posters report 18 - 22 rwhp
Bottom line - for $300 and a half hour of my time it was the best bang for the buck for me. The poster that suggested that this solution is inflexible is only right to a point. If, after enjoying my GMS CAI for a few months or a year I decide I want more, I have the 'flexibility' of ordering a new CAI/Tuner combo; removing the GMS and selling on Ebay for whatever its worth; then installing the new one.
- or -
Wait and see how the GMS 'Fuego' tuner turns out and do a tune with my existing CAI.
Either way, nothing is ever really 'inflexible' if you can unbolt it in like, 2 minutes, and do somthing new. I'm pretty sure people are confusing 'flexibility' with 'cost-effectiveness'. In this case, cost (i.e. what something is worth to you) is a purely personal decision.

I'm seeing a 2-3mpg increase since I put mine on.
