I'm only upgrading the performance for gas efficiency. I don't care if I drive down the street chopping it up and out gunning everyone. I do care about getting the most milage out of my tank when spending $90 for a fill up.

On the other hand. I like going w/ the underdogs. So if Volant is an underdog, then thats cool w/ me.

I'm a DJ and used to hangout at a forums where people would swear their CD Turntables are better than another CD Turntable produced by a different company.

I guess this is just the same here. I'm not here to battle, race or care who's product is better. As long as there is a warranty, Im a happy camper.

Just so you know: (1) I do have a phone (2) I have bigger ***** than you do and (3) I did call TP and they didn't sell me on either one, instead it was like anyone else in business, they wanted to sell me something, they wanted my business. Which is ok by me as I'm going to order an Xcal ll from them. I know they are a company with a good reputation and they were VERY informative as far as intakes were concerned. But they really didn't sway me either way. As far as calling me completely uninformed and clueless, YOU are the one who is clueless, I mean you have no idea who I am or how much information I have, and anyone who would make a judgement like that on somebody armed with absolutely no information about that person, well I guess that's how you make your buying decisions, with absolutely no information. I don't think you're someone I would take advise from. Oh yeah, I read your profile MGDfan, and I see what helps you make decisions. Could it be the MGD. Look,there's an old saying that goes like this, IT'S BETTER TO SIT THERE, BE QUIT, AND LET EVERYONE THINK YOUR STUPID, THAN IT IS TO OPEN YOUR MOUTH AND REMOVE ALL DOUBT!!! I,m not trying to disrespect you or your opinions, but all BMlocal wanted was a little infomation and you started your thread on this subject without being as informative as you were belittling. People would take your advise more to heart if you presented it in a different light(and not MGD lite) hahaha.Just kidding. Anyway you either have abeef with Volant or your just bowing to the AF1 gods. I do like your posts however, they get people thinking and talking, keep it up. sorry this one was so long. Have a nice day.

I would like to see a good pull with the AF1 or Volant then switch to the opposite to see the difference but before calling it good put the original intake back on to see if any changes were made to the original numbers. I know that sometimes switching parts (w/out tuning) can create power just by altering the A/F ratio usually before the computer can relearn the change.

Maybe one or two of those that made the changes will chip in here and tell you what the real facts are.....However, I do feel that everyone has a right to purchase which ever, or what ever they want for THEIR vehicle...
