I know I won't get maximum performance of a CAI without a programmer, but will I be okay to install my Airaid CAI and Poweraid TB spacer without a programmer? Will I run too lean? Thanks all.

 

Hi.

Airaid is supposed to be one of the intakes that do not exacerbate a lean condition. However, being yours is an '04, you may already have one, as many came that way in stock form.

You won't know unless it's properly measured. If it turns out to be the case, custom tuning (with a corrected MAF TF) is the only way to rectify this situation.

Try a Search in the 'Chips' forum for a vast amount of additional info on this topic.

BTW - lose the TB spacer; it's not helping.

Good luck.

Cheers

forget about the TBS it hurts performance not make it.

 

I just installed an airaid cai on my truck (05 5.43v) last weekend. No CEL for me.

I do have pixs in my gallery. I bought this unit used from the classifieds and it was on an 04 before the guy bought a supercharger.
