I just purcharsed a C&L intake for my 06 mustang and im gonna buy the xcal 2 tuner for it but i was wondering where do i get the tune for the cai i went on the C&L site and no luck any help

if you order the tuner through C&L, it should already be preloaded with a tune that is specific for the C&L CAI. i beleive its a tune that doug@bamachips created. call C&L to make sure though. another option would have been to buy everything together from bama directly but either way you should be pleased with the results.

yeah but i bought the tuner from a memeber and its blank so i was wondering how can i get it

you'll need to order some custom tunes from a tuner shop of your choice. you'll have to let them know the CAI you have and whatever other mods. try going to the SCT site and see if they have a generic C&L tune for free download. it would probably be part of the firmware similar to the diablo.

i dont have any engine mods all i dont its dual echaust my car is automatic so how do you like c&l intake do you feel the difference

compared to stock, awesome difference (with a good custom tune). the quick throttle response and stronger pull in the power band is the best. of course its all in the tune but a good cai will provide hi flow/minimal restriction which only compliments the tune.

so what tune do you recomended me to get and where to get it from and do you know how much it would cost to get

vmp tunes are $50 each. bamachips also dropped their single tune price to $50 as well. check out their sites and decide from there. i read good things on brenspeed also. can't lose with any of them.

hey if you can help me out here im new to this is my first cai and tuner setup so im new with this stuff what would be the best tune for my setup what is the 93 91 stuff like that i want to add some extras horses to my stang and heard that this was the best bang for the buck

higher octanes have more power potential. depending what is available in your area, (91 is the highest for me here in socal), get the perf tune that matches the highest at your local pumps. dont expect noticeable differences between 87 vs 89 and 91 vs 93 even if there is a diff. 87 vs 91/93 is where you'll feel the diff. if it were me, i would purchase either the 91/93 perf tune from VMP or the 91/93 race tune from bama. nothing against other tuners, its just that i have experience with bama, which i'm VERY happy with and i've READ LOTS of compliments on VMP tunes.
