I have the BBK CAI (which is a no tune required CAI) and an SCT X3 from Brenspeed and I highly recommend it. Even with the 87 Octane tune, the throttle is much more responsive than with the stock tune. I went with the BBK because I can just return the car to Stock an leave the CAI on if I have to bring the car in to the dealer for service. I didn't want a CAI that I would have to remove and reinstall each time I took the car in for service.

Dont buy a CAI if it doesn't require a tune.
When your purchase a tuner you will choose the tunes your want and they will come preloaded in the tuner... then its simply plug 'n' play.
There are many different tunes out there. ie. 87 Octane Economy Tune, 91, 93, etc.. So you CAN use different octanes with whatever tune you choose. But, for example, dont ever load a 93 race tune on and put 87 octane in it. If you come to a place and you must get gas and they dont sell the octane you need you can always (if you have your tuner on you) reflash the tune to something else they do have.
Theres a few... honestly I dont know the difference between them other than different tunes from who you order from. Some tuners I've seen cost a couple hundred more than others... I really dont know why, I'm sure someone else could elaborate on that a little.
Check AmericanMuscle.com to get an idea of what's out there as far as tuners go.

thanks for the info i'll check it out, but I just hate messing with the computer and flashing it. Does it flash to the ram, prom, or the rom chip of the ECU? Does it reset if for any reason you loose power from your battery or alternator goes bad?
I'm not sure on this 100% but I think its ECU and only takes a few minutes to load up. I would only ASSUME that it would get reset if you loose power or disconnect your battery, but like I said dont quote me on that, I'm not 100% sure.
