when best to add CAI to new car low miles

Hey I got 2015 2LT about 2 months ago. I want to get CAI but not sure how many miles should be on car first or does this matter. I was planning to get one after the break in period at 1500 miles. What do you think?

ASAP. And right after that, I suggest a catch can. Have fun modding!

I bought my CAI before I even took ownership of the car

There is no need to wait for a CAI. Install at will.

Like everyone says, whenever you can, it will help whenever you put it on. A catch can on the other hand, is something you would want to do sooner than later.

Thanks everyone!!! The catch can- do you think the dealer will give me any issues like with the warranty with installing this?

Nope, one of the service tech's that work in the dealership where I get all my work done was the one to install mine.... I've shown him the pictures of the oil I have taken out, and he just responds with "I told you..."
