Brenspeed.com A lot of good info there. There are a TON of good info in this forum, just go down to search and type in "tune" or "cai".

+1 to search

brenspeed, B amachips or Evo will give you the best service and gains due to the custom tuning.

K&N Procharger Intake works great if you dont want to bother with a tuner. Most aftermarket intakes will require a custom tune with a tuner

To answer the second question. A tuner is a handheld device in which a tuner like mention above can set perameters. You can then load the new computer tune into you cars computer. That is the short of it.

Brenspeed rocks! I have an Airaid CAI, not from Brent, but I have a sweet tune from him. Plus, when I ran in to problems, he took time out of his weekend to help me out. Highly recommended!

C&L or JLT cold air intakes seem to produce the best results (both of which require a tune). Brenspeed is praised on these forums every day, I have not heard a single instance where someone got screwed by them. expect to shell out 600-700 bucks for the CAI and Tuner, but from what I hear its the single best investment in these cars (I can't wait to get mine)

If you're really going to invest, wouldn't the best investment be a charge?
