v-6 cai question

[FFR snakeman]

do all the v-6 cai units require a tune and do the tunes all require 93 octane?
looking at v-8 muffler and airraid cai. could i stay with 87 octane or will i have to get a tune and bump up to 93??

no, i saw that you looked into the WMS CAI. It didnt require a tune. neither did the pipes i had put on... and my car is doin good with 87 octain

The the general concensus that I've seen is that the more effective a CAI is, the more it will alter the air to fuel ratio and the more likely you'll need a retune. C&L is one that is commonly stated as needing a reflash that gives excellent gains.

Hope that helps.

what he said. intakes and exhausts on our cars net more gains than other cars like 4cly cars. the air fuel changes alot with those hp gains. you need a tune to get the most out of it and to run the best it can. can you do it without a tune probably, but why when i tune will just add even more.

i understand about the most bang for the buck but this horse is my work car and i drive 100 to 300 a day and jumping up to 93 would be a big hit in the wallet.

you can get an 87 octane tune also. just so you know.

I have found after bama on my ranger that my mpg increased on the higher octane tunes, helps off set the cost as long as your not constantlly hamering the skinny pedal with the new found power.

AFE and KN intakes do not require tunes. I ran the AFE and was happy with it a long time ago.

personally its worth a tune for me. Trust me, you won't believe its the same car. i would go Ti or C&L and a 87 oct tune if gas is a concern.
