Default CAI + Tune???

I'm either going to go with the Steeda Cai with Brenspeed tune or C & L Cai with bama tune... How are the two Cai's compared to one another and same with tune???

All of the CAI's are equivalent in performance (I wish I had a nickel for every time I've said that..). Both Brenspeed and Bama (and some others) provide superior tunes. The tune is the biggest bang-for-the-buck. Many here are happy with both Brenspeed and Bama and it seems that Bama is preferred for those with auto trannys.

Buy the combo based on what you can afford and what looks more appealing.

why choose one intake over another for different tuners? Steeda intake I went with because it can be used with a saleen supercharger and I chose brenspeed because if I do get a stage 2 saleen from him I heard I'll get a discount on it.

go for C&L If you want the highest quality product but no better gains and don't mind the extra cost.

go for bama because he will give you a new tune for your parts no matter who you buy from (unlike brenspeed)

go Brenspeed if you want to buy all your parts from him and get his free tunes with them.

I would think you would be fine to go with either Bama or Brenspeed....they both seem to set the standard for custom tunes. I do know Bama seems to have the best reputation for automatic transmissions.

I personally have Bama and would completely choose him all over again. I am very pleased with my car and its performance on his tunes.

I just got bama's street/racer intake with sct tuner.

Really woke the car up! I would never want to go back to stock intake and tune.

I wonder if anyone has actually compared bama and brenspeed cai tune on the same car... I'm willing to bet you can't feel the difference.
