Obvious you didnt read about it. It comes with its own sensor to adjust for the air difference so you dont run lean.

Sure... if you want to run lean and burn your engine up. Just get a tune, its well worth it and any intake that increases hp enough is going to need a tune to change the A/F ratio back to normal.

No I didnt read about it but IMO adding anything that messes with the computer is much more unsafe than simply reflashing the computer. If you ever plan on adding any mods besides a CAI youll need a tuner anyways why not buy one now and have better gains and more peace of mind knowing that something isnt messing with your A/F ratio. JMO though, chill a little.

RE: GRANATELLI COLD AIR KIT
Sounds like a plan! I have the extended 7 year warranty because my dad figured "I dont want to deal with oil changes" when actually I would rather change the oil and that stuff myself but alas, its too late. So I figured what the hell, 7 years is WAY too long to wait so I may as well start voiding part warranties now and get it over with. I need more power, plain and simple.

RE: GRANATELLI COLD AIR KIT
Just ordered the Granatelli CAI, it should be here some time this week. The reason I went with there CAI, because I didn't want to spend the money on a tuner just yet, not sure what diection mod wise, & how far I'm going to go with it yet other then the fact of getting a CAI. Oh and yes to get the complete 40 HP and 37.5lbs of torqure to the wheel you also need Granatelli 62mm TB as well. My father-in-Law has been using Graratelli for years as well as a few other people I know as well, it is a trusted name not a fly by night company. I don't feel they would put out a product to possibly damage engines. Another comforting fact is I have a friend who is a mechanic for a ford dealership, he tells me that even with just a CAI kit on and No tune will make the car run a bit lean, but not lean enough to cause damage, but hinder the performance of the car inwhich defeats the purpose of getting a CAI [:'(]. I'll post Picks of the Install when I get it and let you you guys know how it works [sm=smiley20.gif]

How much was that? and who did you order from? I wonder if one of the board sponsers sells them.
