CAI and Tuner
Hey guys, ive put a few threads up before about this combo and I am still debating whether or not to pull the trigger and get the C&L Racer CAI and SF3 Tuner. I would probably run a 91 or 93 race tune and I was wondering if I will be getting better gas mileage or will this hurt it?
Thanks for any input on this.

ok...
A) this has really been covered at leas 45 times
B) You'll get people who say "you bought a mustang, not a civic. Who cares about mileage" and I agree, however, mileage is all up to your right foot my friend. Not like doing a CAI+Tuner is gonna drop you to 15mpg highway or anything.
Good luck

A cai and tune will not overly butcher your MPG, like s197 said, its up to your right foot. When I bought my first cai and brenspeed tune, I didnt notice a major change in the mpg but the power increase made the car an entire new animal. Well worth the cash.

If you can drive it AFTER the install like you drove it before, then your gas mileage will be the same if not a few tenths of a MPG less. But if you were to gain 1 MPG, you might hit the break-even point for the $600 expense in about 8-10 years.
Enjoy the change in power.

yeah trust me....definitely do it. Having the 91 race tune, I will never look back. The difference between stock and even the 87 performance was alot but from the 87P to the 91 Race is alot different as well.
Its not just HP your adding but your changing throttle timing and everything. To me, its like driving a whole new car....
I was worried about spending the 554 for the JLT CAI but the difference it has made to the car is well worth it....
