SMA performance mods - are they worth it?

[Chewy]

Folks,

The local dealer is really pushing the SMA
performance parts hard. Specifically, they are
recommending getting the Air Raid intake system,
and the SS headers and Sport Exhaust. Does anyone out there have this setup? Can you comment on performance, noise, MPG, etc? Dealer
claims if they do the install, it's all covered under the warranty.

Curiously, they are not selling either the computer software upgrade (claim there's a bug) or the supercharger at this time. Wouldn't a software upgrade be required to get the most out of this setup?

Thanks.

Before you decide on buying the air intake, you might want to take a look at this GM TSB:

Chewy,

I am a 6 year tech with Whipple Superchargers. We used the Xtremeflow H2 for the production supercharger kit and for the flash programming. They make several performance parts for the H2. Before you purchase anything check out there web site www.xtremeflow.com (http://www.xtremeflow.com)

I have used alot of aftermarket exhaust in the past and this one works and sounds great.
