that's because they aren't called densecharger anymore. you can get it from here though: http://www.tunableinduction.com/

get either that, or a K&N. all the intakes will give you pretty much the same gains. this topic has been done to death.

I am ordering my CAI in a week or so and I must admit that all the conversation on here has done nothing but make it harder! Anyway, I think the Densecharger is the way I am going to go. I see they sell a stage 2 kit with a MAS meter on the unit. Is it worth paying an extra $200 just to have a MAS meter on it? Also, I want to get a bigger intake plenum and throttle body eventually, but I don't have the cash right now. Will this system fit the stock intake and then also fit a 75mm upgrade in the future?

I've never really looked at the ebay intakes, but on lmperformance they have an intake for a GT, for like $70.00. It looks ok, but pretty sure you'll have to buy a k&n filter. I was told 75mm tb is to big, just to get the 70mm tb and plenum along with a cai and you should get around 10hp or a little more to the wheels.

unless you plan on putting on some sort of forced induction, don't bother with larger than a 70

Depends on the type of FI you plan on. If you go Vortec or similar system, the 75 will be fine. If you plan on a KB setup, don't bother, as the KB uses the cobra TB.
