Default CAI/Tune installed - Gonna need new tires!

Yeah, yeah, we've heard it before... "OMG! My car came to life!"... "WOW! So much more power!"

Well, now it's my turn. I received my Steeda CAI and XCAL2 today, did the install with the 89 tune (that's what's in the tank) and took her out for a spin.

"OMG! My car came to life!" and "WOW! So much more power!"

You all weren't f**kin' kiddin'. No chit... It's so much easier to smoke 'em now. Even getting on it from a rolling start and it's all I can do to keep the back end in line. Dayummm!

Same here. I just put the JLTII CAI and the SCT Xcal3 custome tune from Dynospeed along with the Charge motion delete plates. Yes, yes, yes..... I will agree, it made a BIG difference in the performance of the car.

Let's see.....what's next? Just the beginning!
