Proper order for a new tuner
Those HP gains that wrxified posted are interesting. I'll have whatever he's smokin'.
Airaid CAI - $250 - 15hp = $17/hp try 15- 20 RWHP for BOTH the CAI & custom tune
Tuner - $380 - 15hp = $25/hp
BBK Headers w/Off-Road X-Pipe $640 - 25hp - $26/hp try 10-15 RWHP without cams
Borla Catback - $950 - 12hp = $79/hp try 1-2 RWHP; 3 if you're lucky
And forget about any fuel mileage gains. IF there were to be any gains, you'd kill them with the lead foot you'll develop playing with the new found power.

Not really measured it until tonight. Just drove 185 miles from West MI to Toledo OH. Cruise set to 75 mph (2600 rpms) . 25.6 mpg
2nd tank w/ my airaid....70 @2050 rpms 29.4 on the beltline after coming off stop and go, so that's good for me, the airaid proving to be better for me w/o a tune than stock or the mmr I had.
Got my tuner today along with the AirRaid CAI. Installed the 93S tune, which took about 15 mins (very easy for a turd like me), and I could tell some immediate difference. My speedometer seemed a little off though. I thought I was going about 65 but it said closer to 80. I figure it'll take a week or so for the car to recalibrate all the upgrades (fingers crossed)? I also installed the CAI tonight and WHOA MOMMA . . . it's loud when you get on it and just keeps getting louder. I like the sound so far. Up until installing the tune and CAI today, I've been flooring it everytime I wanted to get up and go. Now I feel like I'm going to have to take it easy with the AirRaid on. I redlined for the first time tonight and was pretty surprised. The only problems I have/had with the CAI were getting the tube onto the throttle body (dropped plenty of Fbombs) and the tension from the breather line going into the aluminum fitting is pulling the aluminum fitting from being totally flush with the grommet. I didn't notice any air escaping from the connection but it bothers me that it isn't perfectly flush. I'm gonna drive easy for the rest of the week and let all the adjustments settle in. Overall, I'm pleased thus far. Will update in a week
WIDEtotheNER, the speedo should be correct. Check to see you included the correct rear ratio and indeed did enter it if it is different from 2.73. Also make sure you gave Bama the correct tire size. Sounds like you have 3.31`s and didn`t enter that under options.
Also could be I`m full of it, but just in case>>>>>>>

I just installed the AirAid also. It was a tight fit onto the throttle body. But, I think that is a good thing. A nice tight seal even with the hose clamp is ideal. The sound is great and it sure has woken the motor up a bit. Airaid claims 15 HP and 20 TQ. Not sure on that. But, in my head this is a great mod. I have had K&N CAI's on my last 2 vehicles. The AirAid is just as good.
