Either/or is fine. The tuner will help the engine manage the additional air in when you add the CAI.

The CAI will improve throttle response a bit.

The tuner will provide the biggest improvement in performance.

I've always done the CAI first (except with this truck) but I don't think it really matters.

Bottom line, do both eventually but it really doesn't matter which one comes first, IMHO.

Like said, both is obviously better, but if you have to choose 1 or the other, the tuner is going to give you more bang for your buck.

Check out the Diablo tuners that we currently have discounted for Christmas.
