Default Hurrican CAI users, did you have to get a tune?

I was told the Hurricane didnt require a tune, but apparnetly that is not the case . After running it at the track for a few minutes I got an engine light. Its lean on bank 1 and 2.

Is this the norm? I know more air = the need for more fuel, but didnt know if it was outside the parameters of what it could adjust for.

If I have to get a tune, do you have any recommendations in that regard? Thanks!

yes you need to adjust your tune... you need to get your fueling dialed in correctly in order to compensate for the additional amount of air flow that's being provided by the intake...

Yo, Put hurricane on + Nology wires and Billy Boat NPP exhaust, no codes and the noise from in the cockpit is impressive or not if you want. Mileage hasn't changed. I might however change how it bolts up to my mass air sensor, no rubber from unit to mass air flow sensor, understand that newer than 05' units have rubber gasket that go from Hurricane to Mass unit. Have friend in hose business think I' gona have him go to work and make secure seal. By the way recently had new built mustang next to me and after light at intersectioon and in middle of 2nd gear off light he backed offffff

For normal daily driving it shouldn't be a big problem unless you detect detonation. However, at WOT conditions you're going to be lean and will require an adjustment in your a/f ratio. So, ask yourself this question; $400-500 for a tune now, or, replacing some valves later? Good Luck!
