Keep in mind that the Jet MAF recurves the output to make the engine run roughly 5% leaner. The CAI will also do the same thing... leaning out the curve an additional 2% to 3%. That takes your 14.6:1 AFR and pushes it to about 15.7:1. While good for fuel economy, it's not good for performance. Even once it goes into open loop, you're taking the 11.8:1 (average) AFR and pushing to about 12.5:1. That's a bit too lean for any but the most aggressive racing tunes. Certainly not something you want on the street.

Also, I haven't taken into consideration the slight leaning affect by switching to the true dual exhaust.

Windows™ Vista and Windows™ 8 is a pain in my a$$!
Windows™ 10 is only slightly less annoying!
Windows™ 11 is garbage!
