Default CAI/Tune or Gears?????

Like the title says......just wondering what do add next? Looks like it will be about the same price to get a CAI/tuner or to have a set of gears added. I realize that with gears, i will eventually need gears to set the speedo but I could put that off for a bit. Or....I can just get the CAI/tuner and get gears later on.......

Any ideas?

Definitely get a CAI/tune combo from Doug at Bamachips.

You have an Automatic, and the change in shift points and aggressiveness is dramatic!

Who sets up the shift points on the tuner? Is that something that you as the user can do or are they preloaded?

I went with Brenspeed for this reason, everyone seems to be on the page that Brenspeed is better for every day drivers with the shift points, where bama is better if you plan on doing alot of quarter mile runs, people that have had both said there isnt much of a different between the two companies, just that Bama is slightly better for racing.
