Default CAI or Tuner???

Ok, im torn of what to get first. CAI or Tuner?? i want to use the product as soon as i get it. And i know you cant use the CAI w/o tuner or else it will throw a check engine light. If i should get the tuner first, should i get a tune with the CAI already preset or shouldn't I? Any response would be greatly appreciated.

thanks.

I'm buying the SCT xcal2 first from Doug at bamachips. Then I'll get a CAI a month or so later, and hopefully have him email a new tune to me.

If you buy a CAI first, it'll probably need a tune for you to see any gains.

they should be able to program like 3 different tunes on your tuner. have them do one with a CAI and one without CAI, and then change it to the tune with CAI when you finally get one.
