Getting it tuned at your locality is better than a "one size fits all" off the shelf tune from someone that's thousands of miles away at a different elevation, temperature and fuel availability.

No one has really seen the long-term effects of any of these products and truth be told, if it was THAT lean, you'd be seeing other drivability issues long before the pistons get cooked...

My 2 cents.

Question for you, Since the Injen intake is leaning out my A/Fr, why i am having backfire when shifting under low rpm(up to 3800rpm). It might have nothing to do with the Intake, just happened to happen after i installed it.

It seems it is coming from the mid-pipe, But it might be since i am running a bit leaner, my cylinder temp goes up a little bit, and it might be killing my cat or i don't know.
