^^Exactly why I suggested it...just slapping the manifold on won't do you jack. I'm getting a header/downpipe and the manifold once I have the cash...then getting the tune.

They can also remove the SAI programming with the tune which allows me to use an aftermarket header/downpipe...so its definitely not a waste. Not to mention its for 93 octane and theres no WOT delay...

yea see i say the manifold made a nice difference for me but i also have intake, header, dwon pipe, and 2 1/4 exhaust all the way back. so the diff in power was quite noticeable, and yes i did lose some torque but when i took it to the track it still brought me down.3 and thats on a track where its hard to launch because they spray water for people to burn out in, and if its your daily driver you arent going to light your tires up, on thre street is where you will deff notice it like when you hit around 3,500 you feel it, and correct me if im wrong on this ecotec is a form of variable valve timing and your making more power when your in that rpm range so would it not be better to move a lilttle bit more power naturally up to that area for the ecotec to kick in? but i will say this and agree with all the older guys on here who know their stuff THIS MOD IS USELESS WITHOUT EVERYTHING ELSE TO GO ALONG WITH IT if you put this on without header adn everything else along those lines its wasting time AND MONEY
