VMAX Throttle Body AND CAI; Error Code? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Muscle Car Lover · 05-19-2016, 06:28 PM

Hey all,

I have a VMAX throttle body on the car now and I run an AEM hi-flo air filter in the stock air box setup. I have a CAI brand CAI and was wondering if I installed it would I get an error code? Would the car be running too lean?

I was waiting to put on the CAI until I was just about to go to the tuner shop (Slowhawk Performance) for other upgrades, but have had some timing issues with scheduling. Anyone run this setup now? Thanks for any advice.

Slowhawk will set you up! Great shop!

Slap that stuff on, you'll be fine, doubt you'll get any codes (would be super surprised if you do) Your fuel trims will change and you should get a tune so even if you get a code, Slowhawk will fix that for ya.
