Default Tune or CAI?

I'm on a really tight budget, so I was wondering if you had a choice of only a tune or only CAI, which one would you pick for the most performance gain? Or would anyone totally recommend against this and wait it out for doing both at the same time.
Thanks!

Most big name CAI require a tune in the 05 or 06 so I would think that a tuner should come first.

I would either get a tuner(x-cal2) with a good canned tune. www.brenspeed.com www.alternativeauto.com www.bamachips.com <--- These are all good sites to order a canned tune from or i would wait and get a package(tune and cai). If you order from www.brenspeed.com i know that if you order a tune and then later buy a cai from them, then they will send you a new free tune.
Enjoy

check http://rpmoutlet.com/05gt.htm
you will save a lot if you buy both at the same time
for the package of a CAI and a tuner you would pay $500ish while if you just got the tuner you would pay $400 and the CAI would be $300, this would save you $200

if you really can only get one, go with the tuner (from alternative auto), but if you can save up $100 extra, you can go with both

Well, it looks like it would be better to wait and get both, considering the savings I would get for buying a package.
Thanks everyone!

It says with the package deal that is the predator and the AEM intake there is no custom tune requierd. So is it just running off of the main tune from the predator and not a specific one that come for the C&L or the Steeda intake?

that make sense?
