Hopefully you guys can help me out. I received my C&L cold air intake and a SCT tuner from Bamachips yesterday. The installation and flash of the memory went fine until I started the car. The engine sounded like it was going to stall and it was shaking a bit so I quickly turned the car off. I tried both the torque and the performance tune but the same thing happened both times. What's up? I emailed Doug at Bama chips and tried calling but nobody picked up (I'll try calling again later).

There is only one thing I can think of that I may have done wrong. I just switched to 93 octane gas before the install. My gas light came on and I filled the car with 93 rather than the 87 I usually run. Drove the car for around 10 minutes, is it possible the gas hasn't circulated through the system yet? Any thoughts or advice would be much appreciated. Thanks!
