After almost 2 years its finally done!!

Steeda CAI and Tuner installed as of 30 minutes ago!
Definitely a noticeable difference too. It doesn't feel like there is a ton more power but its way more responsive and quick. Glad i finally pulled the trigger so now i can start shopping around for some 4.10s!

Nice, definitely a noticeable difference. When I got mine I had to relearn how to drive the car, since the throttle responded so well. I can't imagine what a set of 4.10's would be like.

Talking myself into spending the money mainly. Im 21 and have a couple jet skis that are also begging for upgrades.

I went with the steeda intake and bama tune.
Rode around with the 87 octane performance tune today, ill try out the 93 next week.

Gas milage went up noticeably when i keep off the gas. Even when im on the gas its not really much different. I was averaging 17ish the last couple weeks (city driving with a bit of a lead foot) and when i was on the way to the gas station after reseting my milage a few miles prior i couldnt get it to go below 17. I was winding out most of the gears and basically trying to burn some extra gas (starting to switch to 93 octane)

2 years late, IMO. I'm kicking myself in the butt for not placing the order when I brought her home from the dealership the 1st time instead of waiting 3 months.

I'm with you Nuke. I think the older you are the less patience you have. I think I waited two weeks before I ordered my cai/tune combo.

I try to convince myself that it's NOT less patience but older and wiser... Also, having more available cash at my age (kids out of college, dumped the greedy ex) may have had something to do with it, too.
