    Default Mafless and OTR CAI for VX SS

    Hi Guys,

    I'm lookin at doing some work to my new VX SS. At the moment it has extractors and 2x 2 1/2 exhaust and apparently the last owner (a mechanic) gave it a performance tune. Doesn't go too bad, better than a stock SS.

    Anyway, I wouldent mind installing a CAI OTR and getting a Mafless tune if this is possible with the current config. What are your guys opinions on me doing this ? Would it make a better impact on performance ? Would it be worthwhile ?

    How much has it cost you fella's to get this work done ? Can you recommend anyone in or near Brisbane ?

    Cheers,

    Glen

    Oh and you would need a Mafless tune for the OTR to work, By the sounds of it you may just have a MAF tune?

    power torque or hi torque are good work shops
    or you could get a mail order tune off someone like chipmaster or oztrack
    you should see 15+rwkw gain depending on what the tune you have now is like
