You have to Pay to Play and in the dictionary “PAY” comes first. I should have invested in a dictionary!

I would start with a plan having an end game in mind. The biggest problem is most don’t stick to their plans.

Headers/tune/CAI. Or HFC/tune/CAI

1Blownss · 03-20-2018, 01:39 AM

I have a set of ID 850 fuel injectors A tour converter and a cold air kit for you

Marotrent · 03-20-2018, 09:21 AM

Thanks guys you all are very helpful, it seems like I will start with the CAU and tune. Probably save up a little then go for the headers.

I’ve been hearing good things about Kooks headers for years... eventually I those will be what I end up with.

Can you recommend a good CAI?

TheWood · 03-20-2018, 09:52 AM

Do a search, but CAI ended up with the better numbers on a test IIRC

jc615 · 03-20-2018, 10:01 AM

You're in Florida. I'd go to redline or tampa tuning for a tune. Whichever is closer but they are both good.

xc_SS/RS · 03-20-2018, 10:38 AM

get a vararam otr cai since you have a 2011, some TSP 1 7/8" or 2" long tubes and a tune

SSEssence · 03-20-2018, 10:42 AM

CAI (rotofab, cold air inductions), then headers (speed engineering on a budget) and then I would recommend a Dynosteve SCT tune. That should put you around a grand

dawazeek · 03-20-2018, 01:56 PM

I just purchased a CAI intake and a SCT handheld time with lifetime tunes from dynosteve for around $750-$800. The CAI was tested to jannetty racing with the best HP gains.
