Which CAI do you recommend for a 16 Tahoe with the 5.3? I am on the fence as which one to buy.

Thanks, that is the one that I was thinking about.

So, I was looking over the graphs and it seemed like AFE and Volant would be the best ones to go for. Is there a tuner that is best for tuning after the install? The Volant one I'm really considering even though I should wait a bit before modifying my 17 Tahoe LT.

Is there a military discount by chance?

Hello Jonathan, The AFE performed the best, and is what we would recommend. We can tune your vehicle via our AutoCal.

We do offer a discount to our active duty military. Send us an email [email protected] from your .mil account so we can verify your status. We would be happy to help.

Do you have a location here on Oahu, Hawaii by chance?
Never mind. Dam I wish I was still in my home town up in Idaho. Saw that there is an event up there.
Also, just was looking at an install video, is it best to seal up the intake for the AFE one or to not plug it up? Just was wondering if there was a horse power increase, or it didn't really matter.

The noise difference between the plugged AFE vs not plugged is considerable. If you like that intake noise, then by all means, leave it open. If not, close it. Our dyno testing was with it open, however I am not certain that would have any real world impact on horsepower.

Black bear:

If I purchase the AFE Momentum GT Pro 5R Intake System for my 2017 Tahoe...does it require a tune after install?

Hello Jesse, when we tested it, there were no concerns with the tuning, only a minimal amount of tuning would be required.

Would it be better for me to go to the Blackbear performance Website to order the Autocal ?

Also, what does this pertains to?

• For each vehicle tuned, we will provide updates on an as-needed basis at no additional cost.

Like if I do an upgrade in the future on my Denali, then do I do another data log on vehicle...then do I get another
Custom tune for the upgrades that I have done? As long as I own the vehicle.

Hello John, I just sent you a PM. Yes, you can order it through the website. We update our tunes for free as long as you own the vehicle. If you make any changes, add any modifications, we will update the tune, free of charge.
