Tunner or CAI ???
Dual ex is done on my 06 2500 hemi 6sp, next stage is going to be a CAI, I'm leaning towards Volant, or A 3815 Spuer chips tunner, My question is, what is going to give the best bang for the buck, I'm more focused on improving mileage ( all ready pulling 20 mpg high way 60 mph)
My rig is a work truck, so performnace is not as important ( truck is quick as is ) but it never hurts to have more h/p .

RE: Tunner or CAI ???
No MPG improvement from a CAI
but you have a 50% chance your next tank will show better MPG
which is just random.
Very little MPG change with a tuner
but there is a slight effect with the increased ignition timing
on higher octane gasoline
either up or down depending on the high octane blend used.
Aero improvements,
easier rolling tires,
weight reduction,
electric fan,
underdrive pulleys,
electric block heater for short trips
are MPG improvers that can pay for themselves
