Default which first?

I've got a demolet CAI and SCTII tuner combo coming from bamachips next week hopefully and I'm wondering if theres a point in testing the tune before installing the CAI? Or possibly which order I should install them.

Thats about it, I'll be running 93 octane torq tune most of the time probably. Got an 87 tune too just in case someone decides to fill me up with non premium or I get stuck at a gas station that only carries 91.

Nope. Do them both at the same time.

Start car. Hit gas. Snap head back. Smile.

I have the same setup 93/TI from Bama, install them both at the same time I installed the TI first then loaded the tune. IMO I think the race tune is diff the best tune out of the 3 tunes and is the one I run.

Remember never return to the stock tune when running the TI.

heh, the only one I didnt get was the race tune. I figured of the 3 it would be the worst on gas, which is somewhat important to me. I'd rather have marginally more gas milage than marginally more performance for sure.

In total I got
87 torq
93 torq
93 perf

Can't wait til this thing gets here, my echeck cleared like 2-3 days ago so hopefully next week.

Load the tune first to check the device, it has been known for them to be faulty. Don't start the car. Then install the intake. Start the car, have fun! You shouldn't be running the intake w/o the tune due to the change in air intake.
