CAI = cold air intake. It increase the amount of air per unit time your engine can suck in. More air means you can mix with more fuel for more power. The tune is the part that changes your car's CPU to add the extra fuel to mix with the extra air from the CAI. Well, that's a kind of somewhat simplified explanation.
