CAI Question

[XTrooper]

Does the addition of a CAI kit on these trucks generally require a tune?

I installed a Mufflex muffler unit (DOD24M) to my Ram and would like to add a Mopar, S&B, or other CAI to it also, but I'm not going there if I need to do a tune. I've heavily modded many vehicles in the past and I'm just not interested in going down that road again.

Thanks for the help!

P.S.- For those interested, here are a couple videos of my 2000 Corvette that I did a "little" work to.

You are in luck, you do not need a tuner to add a CAI. Not that adding a tuner would not help get a little more out of it.

I would recommend the S&B over the Mopar CAI BTW.

Can you elaborate, Joe?

Thanks!

Thanks!

It's only $300 and it's well made and sealed. The Mopar version just allows hot air from the engine compartment to be sucked in like a K&N. Check out moesperformance.com for pictures. I had one on my Ram before I traded it in and I loved it.

Gotcha. I'm going to head over to that web site right now and check it out.

Thanks again, Joe!

I have an Airaid... not too bad, but I don't think ANY of them are worth $300 or so.....

But oh well!!

Nice sounding 'Vette BTW...........

Thanks, Greggo!

You're probably right about the cost, but I'm not convinced there's a pickup truck in the world worth over 40K either!

Like the guys said, no tuning required for just an intake. The Hemi motor responds well to mods without having to go crazy with tuning. Adding a tune down the road will obviously allow you to get the most out of each mod, but it is not required.

Gracias for that confirmation.

Opinions are like butts, but when I threw my hard earned cash in the ring I went with the Vararam. It is a nice true ram air system and you can tell its effective when you mash it on the interstate and the truck feels like it never wants to stop pulling!

Thanks again to everyone for their help and suggestions. I ordered an S&B from Moe's Performance this afternoon.
