Any mail order tune sucks compared to taking it to a good Dyno shop, and a Dyno shop tune cost about the same as the hand held programmers that are out there.
If anyone has a Aluminum tube air intake and wants to get rid of the heat soak, I covered mine with a one piece pipe insulation that slips over the tube and looks nice. I will post some pics of it. I can give you the name of the company I got mine from. I didn't pay for mine so I can't tell you how much it costs. The guy that owns the company is real nice and wouldn't charge much. He makes his money on big pipe jobs.

This is the Pipe insulation I put over the tube on my CAI intake. We put it on fast just to see if it would work so I didn't make sure the cuts were nice and neet. I had an extra piece to make it look pretty latter on.
The tube temperature was at 154 degrees F before I insulated it and after the tube temperature was the same as the ambient temperature out side the car. I had pics of the before temp shot with a laser thermometer but I can't find them. The Aluminum tube uncovered is like a flame thrower under the hood. The first time I popped the hood after I installed the CAI intake I couldn't believe how much more heat there was
I would put this insulation over a plastic tube if I had one, it makes that big of a difference.

I know I'm probably totally missing this somewhere, but I need to know how (preferably visually!) to install my CAI on my 2002 camaro? I'm new to the whole domestic car scene even though I know that's not an excuse! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot guys!
