I don't know which CAI you purchased, but you will probably get a check engine light and have incorrect air/fuel ratio if you return it to the stock tune with the CAI installed. Get your tuner rep to tweek the tune until it runs like you want it to.
Who ever you bought your SCT2 from should be able to tweek the tunes without any problems. If they don't or can't, I can Highly Recommend Doug at BamaChips.

Get your tuner to adjust the tranny shift pressures. They can make it shift softer. It is also possible to adjust the shift pressure using the Extreme Tune software with your Xcal2 hooked up to your computer, but it is a little difficult, and you will need to know the stock settings and what your tuner settings are, since when you use the program, these values won't be displayed.
Best thing to do would be to call you tuner, and ask them to email you a softer shifting tune, download it onto your xcal, and flash the car with it.
Don't return it to stock. The stock tune won't compensate your speedometer for the 4.10 gears, and it will display faster and the miles will had up quicker than what you are actually running. Plus, without the tune, the car won't be optimized for the CAI, and you could be running lean, popping check engine lights all the time.
If your tuner won't help you out, call Doug at Bamachips, he has great customer service and can make you a great tune.

Tell you what, go here:
http://www.sctflash.com/downloads.php
Download the Xtreme Personal Tuning Software - Full Install 1.1.1 and install the program. Once you get the program downloaded, installed and running, got to:
http://www.sctflash.com/forum/showthread.php?t=705
and click on USING EXTREME TUNE in the first post. This is a flash demo, and after watching it, you'll know how to select a tune, modify it, and download it to the Xcal2.
It's really easy after you see how to do it once. Also, there is lots more info on that SCT website, or if you can't find it, ask them, or call SCT.
Later,

One final tidbit about changing gears on a new 05',not only does it affect the speedo but the throttle systems have a value that has to be changed as well,if not then the Throttle may not accept the new gear change as an acceptable value and think it's doing something wrong and at the least throw a CEL at the most shut down.
Later Doug.

Never heard of a car shutting down for changing the gear ratio, but considering how the computer is linked to and monitoring everything, it makes sense.
