Default CAI

I think im set on the C & L intake with the XCALII ....... its suppose to have the highest gains right.
Could anyne in here tell me what their gains were? ....and just all around performance.....and overview.

Default RE: CAI

On the drivability side, the throttle lag is gone (if you go with a good reputable tuner), car is much more responsive, if it's an auto it shifts much better. As for gains, most get somewhere between 20-25 RWHP gain. Some more or less depending on other mods. I would definitely combine it with a single axle back muffler, GT take off, MRT, JBA, Magnaflow, etc.

For the C&L, Evolution, Bama or Lidio can help you along with a slew of others. Here is a thread from earlier today that hashes out some of the details:
