I would for sure get the car tuned. It should make a big difference in the performance of your car

i say get a protune and forget the xpt map crap. xpt maps are basically another off the shelf type of map. it wasnt tuned for your car but with cars with similar mods.

hmm... it sounds like your culprit may be the OTS map trying to keep up with the extensive mods?? I would get a tune ASAP. Best $350 you'll spend!

Give Ed a call at EQ Tuning in Fairfield, he can give you some advice and hook you up with a bullet proof tune!!!

Why would his car be running rich with the CAI? Wouldn't be running lean?
