They will send you a tune but you will have to pay for it. Could have killed two birds with one stone by going to Brenspeed first.

I thought about the same thing. I have CAI, UDP's, FFRP 4.10's and Brenspeed tune what else can I do to add horsepower but keep the CAI?

For the OP I had my CAI done at the dealership and it ran like crap till I got home and put the Brenspeed tune on it and then it ran great but I don't know why the CE light would be on.

For mail order tunes, Brenspeed and Bama are 2 of the best. I've also heard that Tillman and VMP are pretty good. If you need that extra 0.1 or 0.2 seconds at the track, then a dyno tune is the way to go. But if you do nothing but street driving, the Brenspeed and Bama e-mail tunes will suffice.
