What do you do when your toilet paper runs out? Sorry, just had to toss that in...

It's an easy install (unless your really CAN'T change the toilet paper...).

His issues arent with actually installing the CAI/tune. I think his issues lie with performance of one over the other. retune with cai or not retune with cai. I think thats what he means LOL

And the issues with performance (ALL are equivalent) and retune (go with any of the MAJOR tunersused by the forum) are....?

i would recommend that you start
with your exhaust.

get some aftermarket exhaust and the
mod bug will bite.

you'll be supercharged with a fully rebuilt
racing engine, within 2 years

I'm still stock for now, Boom tubes notwithstanding. I;ve been cruising around in stock trim with the boomtubes and having a blast. will i upgrade, certainly, since I am going to have this car for a while. I'll upgrade when I get the feeling I need more power when I drive, I'm just not there yet.

I'll bed the car down for the winter then see what I want to do. If I can find someone I trust, I might just go supercharger from jumpstreet, just with low boost. I dont need 500 hp to the rear wheels, 350 - 400 will be just fine

Seems like the initial posted is just frustrated with the many opinions he is getting. should be frustrated, actually, its funny just how many different directions you can go with this car.

Ok, I have read the million or so posts on here regarding the cai/retune and the pro's/con's to using vs. not using. To be frank, my brain hurts! Everyone seems to have an opinion on the matter, and it boils down to this...it's an opinion. Yes there are some very educated posts and some folks speak from years of expertise with engines. In the long run, it still ends up being just an opinion. I thank the ones who posted information that was clear and written in a way that "we" could all read, and I learned alot from them. I have decided to leave my car FULLY stock (as far as the air intake system) and never consider a cai/tuner again. again, thanks to the ones who know, and maybe someday the manufacters and ford will make it easier to upgrade the air intake system. Then again...maybe not!
You're missing a LOT of fun there buddy!!

I'm not really sure what the OP is going on about. I see posts all the time about people worrying about their warranty if they retune the engine. Ricers everywhere are laughing at those people and I laugh with them.
