Default Any Cons for the CAI+Tuner Combo for 4.0?

This looks like my first engine mod, after reading what people say, how much better it drives, like a new car, fixes the throtle lag a bit.
But what if I get it, what's the worst that can happen? what % do I have of getting it?
I know it will void my warrantee for certain parts if I do not clean out the tuner and put the stock tune back on and then reboot my battery or however we do it.
Any other problems?!

-Thanks!
PS Back to work, so I won't be able to respond til late tonight!

The only problem I had.... one wheeled burnouts! I got a limited slip about a month after the intake and tune to alleviate that little niggle.

One con to an intake/tuner combo is the FACT that you will burn more gas since you'll be out driving it all the time!

you're probably going to have to take it off and reflash back to the stock tune for any warranty work. Only con i can think of.

Alright guys, look like I'll be buying one.
Everybody agree that Evolution makes nice tunes? or should I fork out a little extra for one of the other two I can think of?

I wouldnt even be to sure about having to take it out. It depends on your dealer really. WHen i had my celica, it had an intake. I brought it in for warranty work when it was running lean. They said it was the MAFS, and replaced it under warranty even though it could have easily been due to an intake. It really depends on your relationship with the dealer.

Well my family and I have boughten several cars from this dealership. They already gave me an extra 700 off the sticker b/c of this. So maybe, just maybe.

The only draw back I have discovered is that I have developed a very heavy foot since installing it.

Heavy foot syndrome is a major drawback. I am always stomping it. It out performs all the 8's I owned in the 90's.
