Even with the top of the line tuner, you may not be able to eliminate decel popping with the short shots...they are also one of the worse pipes for performance. The big shots, on the other hand, are one of the best 2-2 pipes made. The XEID's are the best bang for your buck to add some fuel. I used them for 6 months and they work great for what they are. They are not considered a tuner, but for 100 bucks they work pretty good.
If you can afford it get the big shots and the XEID's...and then save up for a real tuner for the future.

I have a fuelpak and xieds and they seem to work well together. But I still get some popping on decel though. I think it is just the nature of the beast when you have pipes/mufflers with more open baffles like our exhausts have. Just my opinion.

That would be one of my suggestions.

But to buy both, the cost? Wouldn't you be better off just buying a Power Vision?

Quite a few folks kinda drift into the combo having bought one and then later getting the other.
They work reasonably well together because the Xieds handle closed-loop only and the Fuelpak only handles open-loop. So there's little conflict between the two.

High not sure how to send you a personal message on this Forum? I have a few questions about Thunder-Max with auto tune. first off do you think the motor runs smoother/ less vibe throughout the RPM range? Did you see an improvement on your fuel economy? Did you install the Thunder-Max your self and write the base map to the controller?

I don't think you'd perhaps set out planning to do both, unless you got them used and cheaper.
