    It's nice to know that I'm on the same page as everyone. I was thinking the CAI would be first, followed by the tune (eventually), then other stuff.

    If you want instant power & fast transmission shifting the TUNE.

    If you want minimal power, a good roar at WOT then go CAI.

    Bang for you buck a TUNE hands down..

    Interesting responses, I should look at a CAI or Tune myself soon. So far I've been doing "show" mods and upgrading under the car.

    I got my VMS tune and vararam together since it is a package deal and you save a bit. You really cant go wrong with either

    ok, I know I'm gonna sound like a noob but when people say get a tune, do they mean a tuner? like the superchips cortex? this whole time I thought getting a tune meant taking it to a shop and have people strap it to a dyno and this and that. can someone please clarify?
