Putting the CAI on now will be fine, huh? Well then, off to home depot for some hosing to keep the filter separate from the heat below it and then I will go home and slap it on.

Without a tune will there be any gains?

 

FYI - I put on the Steeda CAI and without a tune for the CAI I was getting a check engine light saying that she was running too lean. You can overcome this by setting the WOT mixture richer 1%. I have a Predator so I am able to tweak the tune very easily.

 

Same here. I put the MMR CAI on mine and was getting a CEL and it was running bad. That was prior to ordering the Preditor and I have sense traded the MMR in on a Steeda CAI because I could not find anyone that had a tune for the MMR, and it actually came out cheaper for me to buy the Steeda than it would have been to go to someplace that had a dyno and them tune it.

 

With the JLT CAI they provided the tune on CD for me (at a cost).

 

Yea, I think I remember seeing that on their web site, it was like $75 or so for the tune, which put it about the price of the bit two ( C&L and Steeda ) which Diablo supplies custom tunes for.

 

Just an FYI, on Diablo's website (www.diablosport.com) they also provide some free downloads. I know they have a Steeda CAI tune plus one other that I can't rember now. You can download them for free if you have a Predator.

 

Exactly what I meant in my previous post where I said that custom tunes for Steeda and C&L were supplied by Diablo

 

If you run 93+ octane gas, with the CAI you shouldn't be too lean on a stock tune. If you have a tuner and have already 'tweeked' the stock tune, I could see how it might be a little lean. But with the pristine stock tune, adding the CAI shouldn't cause a lean condition. GFoos, I say go ahead and put it on and see what happens. I could see how on regular unleaded it might get a little lean.

 

I don't have the tuner yet as I am awaiting a call on the tune I want on it. BTW, can I upload the tune from JLT onto the xcal or do I have to do something different?

 

I thought about the CAI or MMR or Steeda Cold Air intakes..

But I have decided THIS is what I want!

I'll have my dealer install so programming is their problem.
