Steeda's CAI is dope. I'm going straight there next week right after I get my car for the Spyder rims and Axlebacks. I wanted the CAI right away but theirs has so much flow that you MUST get a retune.
I don't want to change the tune until I know the car runs well and the steeda guy recommends 500-600 miles on car anyway, so that will wait at least a month. Good luck.

The Steeda CAI requires a tune just so they can claim a gain of up to 44 hp/52 lb-ft torque.
It sounds much more impressive than the realistic 12 hp/10 lb-ft from the CAI itself for $389.
Actually what I read was NOT from Steeda..it was in the 5.0 Magazine. They said the the flow is so much better with that CAI that the entire MAF curve has to be changed to account for it. Having said that, the price of the CAI and tuner are about equal to each other. If you spend that much for the CAI for 12 ponies, why not spend the same for another 30? In my case too, with an AUTO, it helps immensely.
Anyway...mods for our cars as of now (common ones) are as follows:
CAI with tuner
Full exhaust (from headers to mufflers) although from what im reading it's the headers that make the biggest difference in the exhaust gains.
The above will help with the dyno numbers. For track improvement, above plus good tires and some suspension mods.
