Personally I would just go with a C&L CAI and a tuner. That way you know you have something that was designed, dyno'd and tuned to work with each other.

Thanks for all the feedback. Next Q? Should I keep the BBK and just get a tuner or get rid of it and get something like the C&L w/ tuner?
Being a BBK CAI owner myself I have to say that as much as I enjoy the ooh shiny under the hood I would not buy another BBK CAI if I had to do it all over again. If you can get someone to buy it reasonably or can get your money back I would say buy the C&L or something that requires a tune and a tuner, preferrably a combo package.

I have not done the tune yet. I will though in a couple of weeks. Right now no troubles but I also keep the tuner in my car at all times.

Thanks for the link. I called nino sport to see if I could just return the cai and after explaining what hapened they said no problem. Im trading the bbk cai for a set of window louvers. Hopefuly in a month or so Ill just get a c&l from Bamachips with an Xcal 3 . Thanks again for all the help every one and kudos to nino sport on their customer suport.

I was thinking 91 race tune or the 93 not sure? I can get 93 but have to go out of my way to do it.

93 is a pain in the *** where I am... I went with 91 race/torque/perf. Run the race tune all the time ,, its funtastic
