I would suggest Kustom Auto, or Supreme Auto in Saint John. No idea what they would charge, but would think at least a couple hundred??

Depending which CAI you chose, you may want to take it with you and have Pete throw it on before he does your tune.
If it’s low capacity/volume unit, not much issue. But why get it then?
If it’s a large capacity unit at minimum you will have a check engine all the way down.
At worse it could cause some detonation because air fuel ratio will be lean.
Extreme case, maybe it throws car in limp mode.
This is assuming you don’t have a tune to get you there
Do you have a tuner with canned tunes already or are you getting from Pete?
Since you’re planning the trip anyway, my advice would be to call Pete, buy it from him and it will be there when you get there.

Pete will drive you crazy getting ahold of him, so be a little persistent
but once you meet him, he is great guy and will get you where you need to be.
I joke every year setting up run and arranging with him, makes my head hurt.
but he is a great guy, who is straight up and does great work.
so always makes it worth the effort

When I had my setup installed, I swallowed the $150 USD for a custom e-tune from steeda .com. Wasn’t perfect, but got the job done to get to Pete for a proper dyno tune. I cheaped out & didn’t replace a battery. If Gerry isn’t making the run, get your charging system checked before the trip. Bought that tee-shirt once!

If you have or buy a SCT tuner, pete can send you a tune to safely make the trip.
you can buy can tune, which will work, but he will do as well.
Also Pete uses SCT tuners, you will have to have one or I will let him know
who needs one, to make sure he is set for out visit.

Not sticking up for Pete, this is his side business,
His day job is an electrical company.
be persistent, As I said he has drove me nuts at times
In the end the work he does, always makes it worth the effort.

If you can’t buy it from Pete, get it elsewhere and take it with you.
If you know anyone in Maine on the way, something like Bangor, you could have it shipped there to pick up on the way and save on shipping from the big guys like American Muscle or CJ Pony parts.
You can install it there yourself while others are getting dynoed ahead of you.
Not hard to install.
Many have done so before.
Especially if Gerry or Al are there.
They have handled a wrench or two in their day.
But also, like Trevor says, if you have a canned tune or two to chose from in your SCT, that’s enough to get you there.
Several solutions.
Positive thoughts your way.
Good luck.
