Default C&L + tuner ??

Hey just a quick qestion I recently ordered the C&L intake and diablo tuner...Now when I get the intake installed do I have the installer do the tune also or can I just use the diablo and tune it myself when it comes home?

Either you or the installer can do the tune, but do it immediately after the intake is installed. Do not drive the car with just the intake installed.

Install the CAI yourself... it is stupidly simple and takes just a few common hand tools. Paying someone to do it is just wrong... and your going to want to know how to take it off anyway...

Is it easy enough for a rookie?

Very easy, just take your time. Lay every thing out, be patient and it will all go together.

If you can dress yourself 9 times out of 10 and can read english on a third grade level, you can do it.

Don't touch anything in the tune, if this is your first time install the CAI and tune and live with it for awhile, learn some things then after discussing how, maybe then change a few settings but talk to people who know what they're doing or you'll screw something up. Do a datalog of a couple of runs and send it to the guy you bought the tuner from, he'll let you know if any adjustments need to be made.
