Go to your tire manufactures website and get the revolutions per mile number for your tire size. Then with your tuner you can change the Rev/mile setting to correct your speedometer. If you have any more questions, give Brenspeed a call and they can help you through the simple process.

Hope this helped.

Brenspeed rocks and I can only add that you will still feel the difference after the CAI and tune.... I have heavy, heavy chrome 20's and I could tell on the dyno tune and gained about 15 RWHP.....270 stock to almost 285 after CAI and tune...it worth it regardlees if you have 20's or not

+1 what Brian from Brenspeed stated.

Personally, if I was racing or going to the track I wouldn't be running 20" wheels. There will be some minor performance loss with 20's.

How much does that relate financially? How many dollars did it cost for each additional HP?

Typical CAI & tune gain is 15-25 RWHP or more. Depending on what you pay for the combo, well, you do the math...

You can't really put the cost per horsepower formula to the CAI/Tune mod because in addition to gaining horsepower, it also eliminates throttle-lag and makes the engine run like it is suppose to!
