The stuff I wouldn't have done personally, no knock on you at all - Never in a million years would I have messed with the stock air box or gotten a Vittesse. I also wouldn't paint an engine cover...I usually toss those things. Again, different strokes for different folks, but that thing is just a cheap hack from ebay that different places have been selling in some form or another for a lot of cars. I'm going to get a professional tune from one of Jannetty's guys when I know my car is solid after a few thousand miles - maybe even 10k - considering the type of issues I've been seeing pop up. I think I saw your car on a dyno in one video so you might've gotten a tune already and aren't even using that thing anymore.

My problem with a tune is a voided warranty if something happens to the motor. The controller is a hot fix that doesn't change the stock variables, but increases how quickly they are applied. Once my warranty is complete I will probably move to change more with the car.
The controller isn't for everyone, nor would I urge anyone to buy something they are uncomfortable with. Cheap or pricey, it changes the feel of the car for the better in my opinion.
I haven't done anything to the airbox outside of a quick test to see if the car was truly suppressed with limited air flow. I am looking to the GM offering which improves the car for the better currently.
The engine intake manifold is ugly, the cover looks better with the side rails
Overall just having fun with the car and love what GM has given us to play with.
