It IS the G.M intake, G.M just relabeled.

It dynos at 11 hp and 27 lb-ft of torque and NO tune, http://www.superchevy.com/how-to/eng...in-30-minutes/

Fuel trims are unaffected, not sure how G.M is pulling more out of it with a tune, not too mention that this intake is $100.00 cheaper.

Keep in mind that no tune means no warranty issues.
I've mentioned this in another post, but that dyno chart they provided is sketchy for these reasons:
- If the new intake is really providing less restriction as advertised, the positive delta in power should be proportional to engine speed - it's not.
- The biggest torque difference is in the 3200 - 4800 RPM window... Why? MAF reading inaccurate? It's almost certainly not due to reduced intake restriction.

Without the data logs from those runs, it's hard to know exactly what's going on. I'm skeptical of that level of gain though and wonder if that will be able to be reproduced when the part is in customer hands.
