Gonna use Ken's tune, as he built the intake and at this point is the most knowledgable tuner for it. Also, he usesthis CAIon his own car which is an automatic like mine, so I asked them to send me the tune he uses.
Talked with Kelly on the phone and turned on the charm, so was able to get an even better deal than they had it listedfor

quick question, the guy who built it said that it runs cooler since aluminum dispells heat quicker, doesnt that mean that it also takes in heat quicker? it will get rid of the heat once the engine turns off quickly, but when it starts to heat up, i feel like it will be more of a conductor than an insulator heat-wise. i am interested in it, it looks like a beautiful unit, but im skeptical about that one property of it

Info I found on other site: "Doug from BamaChips did a test that showed there was no difference in intake temp vs. material once the engine was warmed up. Plastic takes a longer time to warm up, but once its at temperature there wouldn't be a difference. Besides that, whatever takes longer to heat up, also takes longer to cool down."
From all of my research I've found that metal intakes result in slightly higher intake temps at idle, but once air is moving through the inlet while driving they all have very similar air temps. Hope that helps.
