No, you don't need to take it to a garage, but I'd give it an old fashioned tune up instead. CAI is not going to give you much if any noticable gains, just another place to invite future problems.

yea, there is not much you can do with the carb or tbi setup. spectre does make a custom weld together setup, but for anything less than 600 hp it isnt going to do much. best thing to do is just run a dryer hose to a spot where there is cooler air.

pick up a good air filter setup and ull be good to go. good intake manifold would be a good thing.
