Seems pretty cool for those who want performance without the warranty worries.
Of course for those not worried about warranties, there are much more potent options for similar or less money.

The price for the kit seems OK, but the installation is what kills the whole thing.

Mine's an early '07, and even I have exhaust burble! Are they talking about more than what we already have?
Also, I wonder why the original price for the MSD80 was more expensive than the MSD81. Do they have to do some sort of an upgrade to make the power kit work on an MSD80??

Now with this deal, I asked the parts guy about this today and if a new ECU is now included for the price and for my VIN it looks like it is shipping with a new rmfd MSD81 ECU, so it just might be. Of course installing this in addition to the software would add to the installation time I would guess. Still waiting to hear back that there are no extra costs for the rmfd ECU.

You have a Procede. You will gain nothing from software only.

My '08 also has the MSD80 and it's not clear from the info whether it would have to be upgraded to the MSD81, and if so if it's included in the discount price.
