Well I decided to call D'Agostino Racing up. I talked with two different people that assured me that I would see 50HP gain at the crank, and around 30HP gain to the wheels. I asked him if there was some sort of money back guarantee, and he kind of walked away from that subject, but then again assured me that all the cars he has tested this on has seen atleast 50HP gain to the crank. He also said that he had never had any returned or any complaints about it.
I am thinking about ordering it, and returning it if I don't see those gains. Even though you have to factor in elevation, humidity, wheels (I have 17's), temperature, etc...

I don't like GMS products and wouldn't buy one for a $1.00 - but that's just me.
I have dealt with Derek at D'Agostino many times and he has always been great and come through for me several times in a pinch getting me parts no one else could find.

STICK WITH SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN TRIED AND TESTED. I HAVE THE JLT B AMA COMBO AND AM VERY HAPPY, EVEN HAPPIER WHEN THE 4.10 AND HURST WENT IN. THIS SOUNDS GREAT BUT A LITTLE TOO GREAT.

I think CAPSLOCK IS THE DEVIL and its really annoying to read allcaps posts. But, if you are gonna spend the money for intake and tune there seem to be better solutions.

I think it's pretty equal actually. And let's not forget that the world record holder is tuned with predator...
Vortech = predator preferred
Procharger = predator preferred
Kenne Bell = Predator Preferred
Whipple = Predator preferred
Paxton = Predator preferred
Hmmm....

If I read the add on the site correctly, that is the GMS kit without a new MAF, which would require a tune. I bought the one with the new MAF and it was a dramatic difference with just that... my predator came later. I like the predator alot, easy to use and there is alot of user adjustability built in. I've used it with both 87 and 93 (firm shifting) tunes and while not a huge difference over just the CAI, it is noticeable. I'mstill waiting to be able to get to the dyno for a custom tune. Thereseems to beplenty of Diablo tuning availability around the country.
