oh and ive noticed the skunk2 IM pulls more air than the stock one i can hear the CAI pulling more is this enough to throw off my air to fuel ratio enough to damage my car?

Usually it's a good idea to get engine management and a tune once you install an aftermarket im, your not going to see significant gains from stock though.. A few hp at the most.


What are your future plans for the engine?

If your not planning on a serious build then just get a cheap tune on chrome.
