Cat Backs & CAI
OK Guys & Gals, I am new to the muscle car scene and my knowledge of bolt on's is limited (I am a quick learner though). Just bought my new 2ss/rs and am thinking of the basic upgrades to start with. Cat backs & CAI. My questions are:
1) Will cat-backs add any performance? Increase in HP? I can understand adding headers & a full exhaust adding performance but since cat backs are not changing anything from the block back - are there any gains other than sound? Changing headers would require a tune to the PCM from what I've been reading but is a tune required or advised for cat backs? 2) If I add a CAI system, does this require a tune to the pcm as well? Go easy on me....

You need to check the V8 thread man. You will be lost among the number of mods there.
Cat backs will give some ponies. Vararm, Fastline, and CAI.inc are best intakes now will give around 15hp. Most of the CAI will not require tune unless advised.
