you won't see that much of a gain till you get the CAI and it's tuned for it. But i would get the cai and the tune at the same time or buy the cai now and install it when you get the tuner. If you buy from brenspeed, they will give you free tunes, if you buy from someone else and need a new tune, you have to pay for it like a CAI or delete plates and such.

CAI and Dyno Tune = Brand New Car ...well the feeling of a different car

I waited to long to do my CAI and Tune in my opinion. I had the car for overa year. I recommend doing it right away.

Tuner is 100% worth it....[sm=exactly.gif]
the K&N not so much ...[sm=forgetit.gif]

Go for the C&L or if money is the issue get the JLT II.

go with ba ma chips.com he updates the tunes for free later on if you add anything. Yes they are worth it but on a side note I think 400$ for the tuner in itself is a big old ripoff. It costs around 3$ to make one.
