Enough is enough
Ok, I have read the million or so posts on here regarding the cai/retune and the pro's/con's to using vs. not using. To be frank, my brain hurts! Everyone seems to have an opinion on the matter, and it boils down to this...it's an opinion. Yes there are some very educated posts and some folks speak from years of expertise with engines. In the long run, it still ends up being just an opinion. I thank the ones who posted information that was clear and written in a way that "we" could all read, and I learned alot from them. I have decided to leave my car FULLY stock (as far as the air intake system) and never consider a cai/tuner again. again, thanks to the ones who know, and maybe someday the manufacters and ford will make it easier to upgrade the air intake system. Then again...maybe not!

RE: Enough is enough
What is all the confusion over? You can install a cai like the K&N without a tune, but that is strickly for looks andno h.p.gain, or you can drop some $$$$ on a cai with tune(s) and programer and wake up 20 - 30 sleeping h.p. With a 1/2 hour install time with a couple of tools it doesn't get any easier than that. The hardest part is paying for it.

RE: Enough is enough
Not quite sure I understand why you think it's difficult to install the CAI/Tune. You can easily swap out the intake and upload the tune in about 30min. After doing it a few times I'm not sure they can make it much easier to be honest. The benefits in driveability and the performance of 20-30HP is well worth the 30min it takes to make the changes. However, if your good stock then we're good!
