Can you get your car tuned for cheap....
without buying a tuner? Like at your local garage or something? Hey I'm a novice so forgive the stupid question. I just bought a CAI that's why I'm asking. Thanks.

RE: Can you get your car tuned for cheap....
Most of the tuners only work for one car at a time. So you couldn't start a business say, tuning people's mustangs for $25 a pop. Also, there is a code on the electronic module in the engine bay that is needed to make a tuner work for your car. so the chances of being able to get your mustang tuned cheaply without buying a tuner yourself are pretty limited... at least as I understand it
nobody who has a tuner has been unhappy with it. you'll hear time and again that they are "worth every penny"

O.K. O.K. I understand now. I was wondering/pondering... if a car's computer would self adjust or sense that the air is say- denser and compensate accordingly to a newly installed CAI without needing to be reflashed? Does this ever happen? Like a plug n play on a P.C., is the analogy I'm trying to relay here.

no the computer has its parameters (timing, AF mix, idle RPM etc...) programmed from the factory. these won't change unless you reflash the ECU with a tuner. so if your CAI is one that requires a tune, you'll have to buy a tuner. also, since these parameters are already locked in from Ford, using premium fuel will do you no good without a tuner... just another example
CAI/tuner... I don't have either, but nobody has corrected me yet, so I'm pretty sure I speak the truth.
