RE: BBK CAI with factory tune.
It's my first week with my BBK and tune and I'm still getting 18.5 with 91 with my first tank used. I was at 21 with 87. The car def seems to get better with time after a new mod is added. I'm sure the mpg will go up slightly if I can learn to stay off the pedal some.. [&:]

RE: BBK CAI with factory tune.
Ahh. I glanced at a side note similar to that on the paper work but I didnt pay attention to it. It just said to use a higher octane. That's odd because all of my buddies run their CAI on a factory tune. Ill probably look to get a tune after I do my exhaust. I wish I had the predator. =[ There wasnt really too much of a warning about leaning without a tune.

Well it will lean it out a bit, but these cars are pretty rich from the factory. You will be ok,just on the safe side of a thin safe/bad line. Get a tune though to perfect it

RE: BBK CAI with factory tune.
For about the same money as an exhaust, get the tune instead. A new axleback exhaust won't really do a whole lot of good at freeing up HP, but the tune will. You're looking at 1 - 2 more HP just doing the exhaust, but 18 - 20 more HP with a good tune. If cost is an issue right now, go with the tune first. You won't be sorry!
