CAI or Tune?

I'm considering my next mod to be either a CAI or a Tune. I am wanting to know what will net me more gains? I had planned on having a 93 Oct Tune, !EGR, !AIR and having my speed limiter removed. Which will net me a noticable power gain?

I vote for the tune, you'd get more power from the tune than the CAI, and you could allways build your own CAI.

Exactly, make your own CAI, then get a tune. If your lucky you'll pick up 20hp.

I plan on a Moroso CAI. Just debating on which I should get first.

I'm going to pickup a Moroso CAI in a few weeks. I just don't know in what order. Just taking the next step and want something with the best results.

i dont know how much having the CAI before the tune helps, but i heard its better to try to get as much done before you get the tune, so you won't end up having to retune it again so soon. but i'm not sure if the CAI affects the tune.

Can't go wrong with either mod, personally, I think the tune will make a more noticable difference.
