Default CAI on stock tune safe for 04-05? Too lean?

I'm pretty new to the s2000 but I have heard that the 04-05 has the leanest tune from factory? I'm slowly adding bolt-ons and eventually plan on doing I/H/TP/CBE/cams and go with Haltech Pro Plug-in. For the time being, I'm on stock tune but want to add the AEM V2 and a TP and catback. Will this create dangerous lean conditions on the stock tune or can I safely hit the track with it and not worry?

you'll be fine. look into making a 3.5" intake though. Cheaper and will make more power than the aem.

Nice! Going with an intake that size will I need to upgrade the TB to accommodate?

Can but not needed.

I did a 3.5" for about a year then got a 70mm TB and opened up the oem manifold to match when i put a Haltech in.

It will be fine. Dont do the throttle body until you can tune it though. That made it lean as hell. Hit 15.7 AFR at 7k rpm; 3.5" intake, 70mm TB, header, 70mm tp, 3" hks.

There's a few guys in FL that are running the 3.5" intake with test pipes that track and DD with no issues.
