what brand of CAI are you running and if you have a tune what are you using? how much was it and where did you find it at? what do you think about the power gain?

Well I don't have either yet, but I am considering buying a BBK CAI for $199 and Bama tune for $374 from americanmuscle.com I have heard good things about both for the 2010 V6!

I got the C&L performance CAI w/Diablo predator tuner. It was roughly $600.00. I'm not disappointed with it in any way other than if I want a more custom tune I have to take it to a tuner shop rather than the guys that have the SCT tuners who can get tunes by email.

But so far the 91 octane canned tune has been great. Really pepped it up. Haven't even tried the 93 yet.

Basically if you get the C&L from american muscle, you'll get the SCT tuner. If you get it directly from C&L performance you'll get the predator.

For the 2010 we have to get them separate as there is no package deal as of yet!

yea i have seen that there are no combos. sounds like i will definetly be going with the SCT tuner rather than the predator. there really arent any tuner shops around where i live so the email would be a better idea. thanks guys for the info! was the power change and throttle response pretty noticable?

Brookspeed writes very good custom tunes for the Diablo although you'll have more options (of custom tune writers and dyno shops that support the SCT vs Diablo) with the SCT.

Call or email Brenspeed. They list pkgs for 2010 GT's and typically they can get the exact same package for the V6 and write the tunes for you, this is what I have found.

Link to the GT combos....

No, actually Brenspeed doesn't support the Diablo. I know this because I was considering buying a Diablo used and called Brenspeed first to check. SCT haslot more support from major tuners. I wouldn't buy a Diablo. I think you'd regret it later.

I have a 2008, but I'll share my tune experience anyway. I have a 87, 89, and 93 tunes from Brenspeed. All of these tunes are much better than stock. My original plan was to use the 87 as my DD tune, but I can't give up the 93 no that I've gotten used to it. The car is very quick off the line. More important to me is the difference in merging/passing since I live in a big, congested city where everyone drives like a maniac. Unbelievable difference here! The 93 is much, much gutsier than the 89 or 87. Downshifts from 5th to 4th are much quicker and firmer also. I should have done this a long time ago.

I have the BBK CAI. No problems so far. No tuner yet.
