Default Headers and CAI Done

Just picked up my car from the shop. Headers and CAI, and tune are complete. I will post a pic of the Dyno results later. But what a big difference! They eliminated the skip shift with tune. Light doesn't even come on. Awesome. Feels like a different car. Pickedup about 40 more HP.

Just one thing After about 30 miles the check engine light came on. I called the shop and its no big deal he said! just bring it in.

I guarantee 99% of that is the tune and headers. With that being said, I can't wait to put my SW long tubes on!

If you can feel the difference, and you like it, that is 99.99% of what matters

The AFR (air fuel ratio) that they pshow on the dyno sheet does look questionable though. 9.4 looks like it is running way too rich. I would have your tuner explain it more. Maybe he has a calibration factor not included. What approx. altitude and what approx. shop air temp were you at when he did the tuning?
