"Best" CAI to tune for?

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

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.

Look into the Banks Ram Air.

Many of our customers, in fact, have contacted us recently to rewrite their tunes because they have removed their CAIs.

Underdrive pulleys are usually the only other thing that Bill recommends. You could do e-fans, but he says they're not all that terrific. (His exact words.)

Hope this helps!

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.
