Jet Products any good?

Post by meetthespeakers »

I was wondering if any of you have had any experience with JET performance products, and if any of there stuff available for the Astro is "worth it." I was mostly looking into the Performance Module (Stage 2, using 91 gas is the only thing I dont really like about it), and Mass Air Sensor. Thoughts? :whistle:

-JET Inlet Air Temperature Relocator
-JET Low Temp Stat Thermostat
-JET Performance GM Module
-JET Power Shift
-JET Powr-Flo Mass Air Sensor
-JET Speed Control Unit 2000
-JET Underdrive Pulley Set

I have the -JET Speed Control Unit 2000 to help with my new gearing, tires size and shift points and am very happy with it. It does exactly what it's supposed to do and was easy to hook up. Since they are located near me here in SoCal, I stopped at their shop and was pleased by great customer service as well.

The Speed Control unit I glanced at as well. My speedo has been off 5mph since my last rim and wheel swap. Any regrets with the Speed Control, was it worth the money? How does the shift points work?

Can you go into more depth about it? What made it good? Seat of the pants, increased power, mpg, shifting?

I was beating the heck out of the tranny without it. I had to recalibrate and fast. This was the most cost effective way to do it and it worked perfect. Plus, it's adjustable if I ever change tire/gear size in the future.

Power Programmer can do that as well.
