Thank's guys, I really appreciate all the imput. I have another question, completely unrelated. I was told that if I wanted to increase horsepower as well as get bettter gas mileage, I will be doing my sell justice by getting a Mass Air Flow sensor. So I ordered one from JET, now the guy at UPR who talked me into getting a UPR cold air intake and the SCT tunner, says it is not compatable with the intake and that I don't need it. SO know my buddies are telling I should have purchased a K& N cold air intke and a Diablo tunner, then the MAss Air Flow sensor would have worked and I would have gotten more horsepower and son on. It all this true?

Hey Hateswhatownsyou, the tuner was easy and simple to installed, that is one of the reasons I have so many questions about it. Also, as far as power increase, I do notice a difference. However, I did all the work at ones therefore I can't confirm if most of the gain is because of the tuner or all the work. What is dissapointing to me is the fact that now my MPG reads about 4-5 miles more, 30-31 MPG on cruise control at 60 MPH compare to a 25-26 that I was getting before, yet by doing the simple math with pen and paper, I only get a 19 MPG average. The other issue is the gallons used base on a 30 mile trip, now reads 1 gallons, compare to the 1.5 before. I'm looking to find a place where I could get it dyno to get some real facts as far as HP gains. I'll keep you posted
