AEM... no gains, but sure looks pretty under the hood... oh! shiny!

K&N... about 7 hp without the need for at tune... no further gains with a tune.

C&L.... ooh! ooh! pick me! pick me! Some of the best gains out there. You'll also need an X-cal 2 tune with the C&L.

Ok i been thinkin on what CAI to get for awhile now. I Think the C&L is the one i'm going to pick. Reasons are look like the best HP gains and it needs tuned. I read somewhere that its safer for the motor to have the CAI tuned right. I plan on keeping this car so i dont want to frack it up anytime soon.

I have the C&L and the XCAL2, I am very pleased. I recommend them both, you can get combo deals from Alternative Auto or Bama Chips.

Installed on my car.

So i went to the Alternative Auto Website and looked at the SCT Tune deals. What one would be the best the Xcal-1 or the Xcal-2?

Get the XCAL2 it holds 3 tunes, the XCAL1 does not, and is older technology.

When I was NA, the TI showed the same gains as the C&L and didn't cost as much. Doug offers the TI in his combo package as well.
