Fitted a new Steeda cold air intake with the high flow elbow and tuned the car using the SCT 2 with the Steeda custom 93 octane tune.

Took it out for a quick drive and wow, this has really woken the car up. One thing I did notice though, I need new suspension. On take off I can feel the rear end hunker down and it feels soft. More money, and I haven't really started yet

For now though definitely a satisfied customer.

Colin

Cool, same one I had..+1 on getting some suspension upgrades, it will make a difference..See if you can get to a dyno and find out rwhp and air/fuel ratio..

Agreed!! We're limited to 91 octane here, but the Steeda CAI (X3 tune) made a huge improvement ... as did the springs ... and the sway bars.

Now it drives more like a sports car.

Took it out again tonight for a drive. My electric fan stays on the whole time. I'll have to look into this.

Just found out it's in the tune. I need to call Steeda and find out how to adjust it. No need for it to be running all the time.

Colin, congrats on your new Steeda CAI. As I'm sure you'll enjoy many great years, just as I've had with my Bamachips 93 race program, and Steeda CAI

Colin, when you contact Steeda. Ask to speak with Gus, he'll walk you through step by step to properly adjust your fan settings.
