Bobby,

I have done both, Software and CAI. I did use Jim Conforti products. Would I do it again ? YES, your car will not be a lot faster or you won't see 35 HP on the Dyno but this is what you will get;

1. Smother acceleration with no hesitation accross the whole rev band.

2. Rev limiter increase to 7000RPM

3. Speed limiter removed

4. You will also gain a few HP and ft-lb

5. Nice "deeper" sound with the CAI

Have a look at my web page, I have more details, but bottom line, Do it, you will not regret it !

Are the performance software and cold air intakes an advantage? For those who have spent the money on these upgrades whould you do it again? If so, which manufacturer would you go with? Would you do something different? Problems?

I have checked the archives but could not find clear answers to it's worth it or not. Or "I would not do it again"

thanks for all of the help.


Thanks. Looks like the way to go.
