The best point he makes, all you really get is more air, and since the computer is not tuned to make use of that air, it's really no benefit.
Let me add, some people in here have invested in HP Tuners. I think it's about $500-600 for the software, the cord, and a license to use for your car. But you really have to know what you're doing to go messing with the ECM, or TCM.
There is also a guy on here, Overkill, who sells a stock tune for 87 and 93 octane. Once purchased, you can use the HP Tuner software to send it to your car.
Many have praised the improvements, although at that price, it may not be worth the the investment of the tuning software.
But, if you know your stuff, you could use it to tune your computer to make use of the extra air.
Still, that's alot to know, and alot to pay just to be able to actually gain any benefit from the increased airflow from a cold air intake kit.
