Default CAI Install - How difficult?

I installed a Steeda Tri-Max shifter and Steeda underdrive pulleys yesterday. Other than having a bit of a hard time getting the main pulley off, both jobs were pretty easy. I am waiting for a MAC CAI kit to arrive via UPS and plan on doing the install myself. Can anyone tell me how hard of an install it is? I have access to almost any tool I would ever need. Thanks.

if u have intalled a shifter and u got "most" of ur pullies on then the CAI should be a piece of cake. all you have is one or two screws to undo then change the MAS easy ooo and u also got 2 sensors u have to unplug nothin hard though probly take u 20mins at most

^^^^Si, if you've done pulleys and shifter, you'll breeze through the CAI - aside of bumper inserts, it's one of the easiest mods.....

My car is done. Just breaking the motor in before she goes on the dyno and gets a final tune. Will wait about 6 months, and then she'll be a bottle baby again.

Thanks for the info, guys. It shows up on monday and that is the last thing I have yet to put on. I just installed the diablo tune. I can't wait to check that out. If anything, I'll have a functional speedo again and TC will be off by default.
