Noob tuning question.....

[MOTORCITYBADBOY]

Got a Steeda CAI, but the tuner I got has a JLT tune in it. Will my computer know the difference or do I need a tune specifically for the Steeda intake?

PM KDANNER, he's really up to speed on these CAI's.

You need to get a specific tune for the Steeda unless the MAF region is the same size which I doubt it. Even JLT have a different MAF size depending on which one that you get(carbon fiber or plastic). For example I had a JLT. Put on an Airaid with the same tune. Let it run for a while. Idle was erratic as Hell. Datalogging showed A/F was bouncing from .8 to 1.2 lamba constantly at idle.

Need to get a tune specific to the Steeda: either from Steeda directly or you can purchase one from say Brenspeed or another reputable Tuner. There is a lot of variability in these CAI set ups.

this..thats why there is a difference of HP between CAI

The strategy code and possibly the VIN must match since they ask for both when you order a tune.

Shoot me a PM if I can help you with that.

Strategy code on your pcm has to match the tune, also the tune thats for the JLT will have a different MAF Transfer since the MAF housing is a different size.

So even if you could run the tune, you shouldn't.
