CAI Question
I know there have been lots of posts about Cold Air Intakes so bear with me. I was wondering if installing one violates the warantee on the car. also, is there a break in period? is it absolutely necessary to get those computer things that re-dyno your car and if so...what exactly do they do? does anyone have any recommendations for the best CAI i can get? i was thinking Steeda. Thanks

RE: CAI Question
IN answer to your questions:
1) warranty--No
2)break in pd--No
3)computer reflash--Yes
4)they reprogram alotof things, a/f mix, timing, WOT fuel volume, cooling fans etc, etc.
5)Yes Steeda is fine, I went with steeda b/c they have good cust service, they can be purchased through some ford dealers. and their cai is about $100 less than C&L's.

RE: CAI Question
If you go with an air intake and a program it will be the best performance mod you will buy for the money. Time and time again customers tell us how they cant believe how much faster there car is with a tune and CAI. Not only just wide open throttle, but you will notice a huge difference in part throttle response. It is a true night and day difference unlike some parts you can buy.
I run the C&L on my own car and love it. We also sell the Steeda that uses the stock inlet pipe. Our SCT programmer is as simple as it gets. It will arrive all ready to go. There are other programmers on the market also.

RE: CAI Question
so all of this can be installed by yourself and then download the new tune off the computer and then plug it in to your car, and there is no need for you to go on a dyno and tune it there?

I am having a CAI,SCT, installed at a dyno shop tomorrow every car is different the best way is to know what your car needs as far as air,fuel ect.is to dyno it.I am not being charged for dyno time since I bought equipment through the shop he is a authorized steeda sct dealer.
