I just bought my SCT X-Cal2 tuner w/3 tunes and have one question. I installed the K&N CAI and this wasn't listed in the choices of MAFs. So I chose the C&L CAI and went to drive my car and as soon as I punched the gas the car hesitated and coughed and then I received a "Fail Safe Engine Mode" message in the LCD. So I went back and reset it to "Stock Airbox" and it runs fine now. My question is should their be any other adjustments I should do to get better performance? Like add anything to the WOT setting? It was recommended to add 5% to the WOT but I was not told which way to add (Leaner/Richer)? Any advise is greately appreciated.

BTW, I am currently running her on the 87 Octane tune.
