Do you need a tune after installing a CAI?

NewFoundPower · 03-21-2005, 12:08 PM

I have heard yes and no when I asked different people. So, do you need a tune? Can the stock program run ok with the added air flow? Thanks.

With the mods in your sig and a CAI you do not need a tune...stock tune will be fine trust me. if you are really concerned put it on the dyno.

yeah..you should be fine, but I would be more curious to see what kind of numbers you are putting down with those mods...

If that's the case, at least you'll look cool driving it!

do u have to kinda break it in after u install it by driving around at diff. speeds and RPM's?

blk04cobra1 · 03-23-2005, 09:00 AM

nope...it's ready to be dogged straight out of the box...trust me, the first time you floor the pedal, you won't wanna let off

Just by changing out the stock box and installing a CAI really seemed to pick up more power than installing the complete X/Pipe and Cat-Back system. I couldn't dyno the results but it seemed to pull better. The CAI certainly made it a little louder under the hood as well!

try adding the Accufab TB/plenum...that's a good seat of the pants difference...better throttle response

and a few ponies on top of that

It's on my "To Do" list. Someone was mentioning a while back the Accufab made a whistling noise when they installed one, didn't like the noise? Any truth to that?
