Do gears require a new tune or do I only have to recalibrate the speedometer. I do plan on getting them Q1 of next year. Not getting them now because I may not need them. It would be nice if just the CAI and Tune were enough to keep me happy.

Just have to recalibrate for the speedo, no retune required,
The cold air and tune will give you big performance gain over your stock set up, more of a feel it in the seat of your pants on take offs and with harder shift points Youl love it

I'm one of the lonely few on here with the "conservative" FRPP tune, but it's enough to make 'em squeal from a dig (TC off) without power braking- just WOT from the low 700 r.p.m. idle.

I'll most likely be getting a custom dyno tune (from JDM in Freehold) when my warranty runs out- which should be even meaner than a Brenspeed, EVO or B A M A tune, and I'm still considering a Whipple, but believe it or not, I'm actually pretty darned happy just the way it is now.........

You'll love the tune. Myself, even at the track T/C off, OD off, power braking and launching
at 1800-2000 I can only manage a small squeal, just slightly longer than a chirp. But, I'm also at
5000 friggin feet. I'm driving to California next Spring to visit family and run this baby at sea level.

I hear there's not much difference between the CAI's and Tuner combo's.
So i've decided to go with brenspeed as well, i actually wanted to go with b a m a chips.
But since there's not much difference...
Quick question though:
"First Program .."
"Second Program .. "
"Third Program .. "
What type of answer do they require? like 87 Torque, 87 Performance and 89 Race?
Do these tunes exist? (I can't go above 90, cheap fuel overhere)

for brenspeed no...only doug does the different tunes...he cant right a 87 torq either so if you go Bamachips then you want 87 perf 89 or 90 torq and race
