I just got email back saying that I need to talk to Granatelli also, this is not want I wanted to hear b/c I have a feeling this could take a while to get resolved.......I guess I will try this and see if this is a common problem or not, It sounds it might....

Let us know what you find out. Patience, as always. Sometimes you just get the bum luck.
BTW, you don't have a previous tune in place, do you? The supplied Granatelli jumper assumes you're running stock.

No tune. I'm a bit impatient myself. After two weeks of anticipation this is what I get. It's kind of hard to be patient now.

Are you going to try to return your unit? I was thinking of trying to get it to work and if no luck, get an SCT and a tune and install the intake with the stock MAF unit.....good luck wiht your troubles, I feel you!

RE: Granatelli CAI
I am going to return the unit. If it was one problem, no big deal, but for starters the heat shield doesn't even sit right. You put on the gromit like the directions say, put in the screw, and the gromit doesnt even come close to the hole. It should sit right into place where the stock air box was without any hassle. I don't want this unit.

RE: Granatelli CAI
You used electrical tape on the MAF connector. Personally, I've never had a great deal of success with electrical tape. Keeps coming off. Didn't even think of it. I took some bicycle inner tube, wrapped about two times around the connection, with a little stretch, and secured with a nylon tie. Time will tell. I think we feel good about the nylon tie, just don't know of the degrade factor on the inner tube.
