Ok so CAI's don't add power... but how about after a tune?

Can anyone comment on whether a CAI will give more power vs. stock box or SRI after a tune?

I am asking because I am thinking of buying a CAI but from searching I see that it doesn't add anything vs. stock but I have other mods such as 1/2' spacer, popcharger, test pipes, & exhaust... as well as a tune...

Do you think it will add some wHP if I switch to a CAI and retune?

Right section.
The CAI will still be susceptible to heat soak, so I wouldn't use it.

i think you're fine with the pop-charger, marginal difference between intakes IMO.

You will probably gain hp only after a tune.
After market CAI tends to make the car run rich without tunes.


You can read the intake myth sticky.
