Default New Guy Gets CAI and XCal2 Tune

I bought the Steeda CAI kit and the SCT XCal2 tuner. I put the CAI on yesterday, and uploaded a new tune. WOW!! Noticeable difference! Sound's improved and... it sure seems to me like it runs a lot stronger! I took my step son for a ride, got more rubber in 2nd than the last time we went. He kept looking over and trying to see the speedo as I accelerated in 4th gear (I like that feature; my wife doesn't really know how fast I'm going!). I'm just havin' a ball with this car!

How do I find out what the parameters of the tune are? I bought it from American Muscle, and they just sent me the XCal2 with the program already in it, no description of the program or anything.

[Forgot to include my photo!]

You probably just have the SCT can'd tune in there, get one from b ama, evolution or brenspeed for even better results.

I gave them all my specifics. Steeda said this CAI required a tune. I think premium fuel makes a big difference!

I found Brenspeed's site. Evolution Motorsport too (is that the correct one?). What's "b ama"??

Probably the K&N for the price... I have the Granatelli on my 06 GT and like it a lot but more $ because of the polished tube.I bought the Granatelli used and saving to get a Steeda with a tune from Brenspeed.

Too bad the other CAI don't used the polished tube because it looks sweet.
