Default CAI/Tune Install

I don't have much time for my car with school, how long does the CAI/Tune install take, total? What are some common install issues? Any helpful tips? How much mechanical experience is necessary? I have the Haynes Manual, and I'm guessing it comes with instructions, but it looks pretty straightforeword. Thanks.

It's simple, the tune takes about 3 minutes, the CAI, shouldn't take more than twenty minutes. There are no install secrets.

I did mine in about a half an hour too.
My dad always told me growing up that I wasn't mechanically inclined.
If I can do it so can you.

Alright, thanks. I never planned on paying somebody to clamp a tube on and plug a tuner in haha. I have limited time though so I'm tryin to see where I'll fit that in.

Its easy man, no time at all. The most time at all would be an hour but average is about 30 mins Very simple to do.

Once the mod bug bites you, you will find the time.
I installed my sequentials at night with the porch light, a flashlight and a battery operated coleman lantern, just because I couldn't wait until the next day.

if you can drive your car, you can install a CAI and tune.
