CAI with the SCT tuner with 3 bama tunes loaded. The Steeda is about $20 more but appears to have a better surrounding enclosure.
My only concern is would the tunes work well with the gas I buy and would I have to replace with original every time I take it in for service at the dealer. I do believe I am about to take the plunge soon because I am not pleased with my current throttle response at all and this is supposed to be one of the best improvements the tune makes.

you wouldn't have to switch it back to stock everytime, just if you were having warranty work done(like if they had to hook your car up to the computer) if you're getting an oil change or a balance/alignment, there would be no need...whatever you tune your car for, use that gas, but try to stay away from no-name stations (shell, mobil, chevron, bp, texaco, gulf are A-ok)

Hey Shad,
Add some pictures of your car in your garage!
It would be nice to see you ride.

Take care,
LCL

LOL, no reversed, your numbers are lit and the rest of the gauge is black. I was thinking your car was a 5.0 but it's not. Gauges for your year are different I guess.
