The core charge is supposed to be $1000. Is the dealer getting that full amount back when they return super charger and head?

An ECU is NOT NECESSARY. However, an ECU will optimize the 19%. Unfort, there is no ECU for the 19%. GIAC will be out with one shortly using larger injectors. The injectors will help big time in the higher RPMs while the software will optimize an already potent torque curve. I highly recommend the GIAC ECU for 19% when it is available, but until then, the 19% still rules with the stock ECU.

greatgo----Great!!! That would be almost perfect. i assume that GIAC has a idea to optimize fuel of the larger injectors without an external management system. This would better than or equal to a JCW kit
Lot more HP/torque off the line .

Will this be out soon

Exactly. I believe the majority of the tuning is done for the 19%. They're looking for high-quality, inexpensive injectors. Hopefully will be available very soon!
