"Best" CAI to tune for?
 

Hey all:howdy: . Been a while. And been a while since I've done any kind of performance upgrades to my truck. And really wanting more/better performance. Just not happy with Gotts and PHP custom tune.

As some of you may recall, I originally had an S&B CAI with custom tunes. Was good but gave me problems under heavy acceleration. So Bill said S&B is one of the worst and talked me into the Gotts mod with custom tunes. Haven't been satisfied( after many tune tweaks ) since.

Bill had posted(may have been email) about the S&B and how it was bad. And mentioned others that were better/easier to tune for.

Long story short, I'm thinking about going back to a CAI system(looking at the aFe right now). Possibly doing other mods. efan, throttle body spacer, etc.. Anything "small" that will improve performance. And of coarse new tunes.

Hopefully Bill will chime in here, but what are the "best" CAI's?

FYI, I have the AFE intake (CAI). I love it and also have the Silver Bullet throttle body spacer. Although I have heard the spacers don't do much. Efans from FF Dynamics are awesome! You can get the extreme kit for $325 w/ free shipping. Much cheaper than others on the market. As for other cheap mods, not sure what you consider cheap. Exhaust? Premium fuel? Good luck and if you have any other questions, just ask.

Yeah, I already have a SI/DO magnaflow. So you like the aFe? Have any issues with the custom tunes?

Have not got my Graphon back yet. But as far as "The Mad Doctor" said, should not be an issue.

It's Gryphon

Gryphon. My spell check messed it up. LOL

Any other opinions? Not in a hurry but could one of the mods point Bill to this thread? I'd like to hear his opinion.

What would you like to know? I have "some" experience working on modifications and have gained a lot of knowledge from others on the forum. I noticed you do not have anything under your signature giving viewers details of mods you have made to your truck or what year and motor size you have. That would prove to be helpful. And I am quite sure if you wait long enough one of the other more experience moderators on this forum will help you out. As for me, I am much like you. LEARNING.....

Just more opinions and/or options I could do that would open up more power. I'll update my sig now with what I have going on now.:)

Hey Corey,

As much as I want to believe and trust Bill, I just don't feel it because I've witnessed it first hand. Truck is by no means "dead", but I just don't feel the same power/performance since Bill recommended I remove my CAI. That's why I've come to the point where I want to make changes. Do anything really, even if it only adds a small amount of HP gain. Something is better then nothing.
