Jeff tuned the AP about a year ago. I did not gain anything from stock vs Jeff's tuning. What he did do is make the car run leaner, increase oil consumption, and increase rpm via AP.

There is no "weak ***" version. They're all the same hardware. It's just a matter of picking the right "vendor" so you get the better tuner.

i have an arc intake i installed
when i removed the stoke air box / filter and put the arc intake in i made sure everything was connected before i started the car, air flow censor was on correctly everything was bolted down and sturdy, hoses where also in place, so when i thought i was ready to start the car i did than it started and the the rpms revved crazy for a couple seconds and car stalled. so i disconnected the air censor and tried still stalled. Than I removed the filter started rpms revved a lil crazy than stalled. So I put the stock back on and car would not evan turn on. WTF! Do I need a new air flow censor?

you may have a bad MAP sensor, but, sounds a bit strange. Might want to check with some of the more skilled guys like MM or CRH
