It's hit or miss on that one. I have one and it works fine, but I've heard AND seen others that made the car run like crap. Alot of people will say just get a gm direct 85mm maf and have it recalibrated. Costs about the same either way, so it's up to you. Get the slp and gamble on if it runs right, or do it correctly and go gm.

i have one, it has been on my car for about 4 yrs. IDK if it helped, but it didn't seem to hurt n e thing other then MAYBE causing me to run a lil rich. My gas mileage has droped a lil bit, but it is hard to tell what exactly caused that as i have other mods on the car, it is an M6, and i .

Would i buy it again, NO, probably not. Not b/c it is a piece of **** or anything, just that i don't think it really did all that much for the $$$. If you can get a deal on it, go for it, but i wouldn't pay retail for it.
