JLT make power as well. It sells for $199 but requires a flash tune. We also offer a calibration for the JLT for $125.00 so that adds up to $325.00 still $25.00 less then the best price I have ever seen on the Granatelli but here is what you don't get. Polished Design, smooth radius to increase airflow as it turns into the t-body, no filter shroud so it heat soaks. That means when these guys do their dyno tests they alwasy do it hood up but hood down it will be a different story.
C&L - Not a one piece design, smaller inside diameter, polished is extra charge, requires a reflash

Because if you are..I find that very difficult to accept..

When dyno testing these Mustangs they loose torque with intake manifold heat pretty quick. A few people keep say
With No tune Provided
and that is were you all go wrong. The CAI systems are tuned. They are no like a Airraid or K&N that chokes the inlet down to a point that they really do not increase airflow. Our products COME TUNED and are 90mm at the norrowest point.
Blitz can confirm we put at least 10 tunes in his car while it was on the dyno. In the end our original performance tune was still the best
In short our product comes tuned. Not all tunes require a reflash

Also, hate to tell ya but ya could "void the warranty" (claim) by using a non stock Mass Air unit just the same as a handheld tuner. You win no battle there buddy.

Also While I have direct access to the dyno the fact remains that we have tested 3 cars in 1 week with results that have never varied more the 1%. Blitz, Harlybill, Buster and others have all recieved theior parts and said the same thing. They love the look and feel the power

Here is why he is mad - As you can see the turbo with less boost still makes way more usable power and torque
This was dyno'd
Against This

Again thanks to my fellow TMS members who have posted their personal experiences with the GMS products.

I was really wondering the same thing.

In one of his recent posts, JR included at least one link to another companies site showing their dyno chart after installing their intake and re-flashing their program to the computer. He compared that chart with the recent charts of the GMS CAI which was installed without re-flashing the computer.
I don't remember which of the three competing threads it was in. I believe it was a link to the C&L site. That chart showed improvements over base with the tuner and their tune similar to, but slightly less than, the charts posted this last week by JR, and verified by two owners who's cars they were run on, without a custom tune.
That's straight forward. C&L's advertised performance cains with their intake and tune vs. GMS's installed intake without tune.
And JR has stated that anyone with a dyno and tuner can get even better results out of his system. How much more? No one has done one yet. But as a starting point, I think the GMS intake looks like a really good beginning, if you want more, or a nice easy upgrade if that's all you want to do.
And for the record, I have a C&L Street intake and Diablo Predator tuner in my garage. There's no way yet to upload the Diablo tune to the '07 (they don't have all the CAL-ID's in their latest revision), or it would already be installed on my car, but I ran 12,000 miles with it on my '05 and loved every second of it. If I could put just the intake on and go, I would, but since the C&L requires that tuner, I'm still running stock. If I had the GMS CAI, it'd already be installed and running, no waiting for the updates.

Ok fine Jay, then how about HarleyBill, 05GTRedfire, yourself and others who now have JR's product, consider having your Stangs dyno tested by local tuners who are in each of your area's, that are considered third parties and that should settle this issue, once and for all ?? Would any of you, agree to this ?? I mean, you should at least be a little curious right ??? I sure know, I'd be.. Sorry, I forgot to mention earlier that it would also be in your best interests, if you also have your A/F ratio's checked, as well..

My car should arrive the first week in September. I'm ordering the Granatelli CAI this week so I don't miss out on the special he's running this month and will gladly have my car dyno'd before and after. I'll go one further and post here in advance of when I do it and anyone in the Tampa area can come out and watch. There have to be some members in this area who would be interested in seeing it first hand.

Might just have to try it.
We have 2 local power shops (bigshot dyno and akron horsepower) in our area. I might just have to take it over and see what this baby is putting out...I won't have a valid baseline to start with to see what improvements were made but I would at least have what I have. We will see. I have been wanting to check out these shops anyway.
