Granatelli said:
The simple fact is YOU DO NOT NEED A FLASH TUNER TO UNLOCK A LOT OF POWER from your S197. There are Cold Air Intakes out there such as the Granatelli that offer fully calibrated MAF electronics allowing for simple bolt on power in the 20 to 25hp range.

So in conclusion - it was the same. When using a calibrated MAF in the proper application it is a powerful as any tuner or flash tool could be for far less money and in the case of Granatelli 50 state legal and did not void the OEM warranty – flash tool and customer tuners and tunes cost sometimes twice as much and are not emissions legal – but yes you get the last 5hp

Sorry, but ever since I found out a few years back that my Granatelli MAF that was supposed to be CARB legal, wasn't, I have trouble believing anything that Granatelli says.
