Good write up. I'd like to see the proof along with the others.

I think a drop in filter would be very comparable with a CAI system.

The thing is that if you are going from stock to CAI and tune, you still won't know how much of the HP is from the intake or tune. The car needs to be already tuned, then add the CAI then re-tune it to see the real results. I'm only expecting maybe 3-4hp more. Will be very interesting to see though.

I'm going to go ahead and dyno the K&N and see how it looks compared to my stock dyno. I also have an air raid I'll be throwing on soon with a tune as well for comparison.

I'm doing email tune company and I'll run a stock only tune for a few weeks, then run a tune with the air raid.

This is more and more interesting to me as well.

I'm hoping more will chime in like Dirty and King as to their Dyno results or personal experiences to any noticeable gains etc. and get some good numbers to play with and compare in one compiled thread.

This would be optimal for sure. You thinking that a tune 1st, and CAI tune 2nd, would net less of a Dyno improvement over a CAI 1st and tune 2nd? Obviously the manufacturers methods are stock pull/CAI pull/Tune & CAI pulls

What are your dyno only rates with no tuning Tim? Looks like I may be heading up some time soon. It would be nice to see A/Fs on all these different set ups as well.

If you can, you should try to tune it with the stock filter, then the K&N and then finally the intake to see the differences across the board.

I was going to sell the intake and throw the money toward the tuner but I can do that too. I'm going to need some cheap dyno time with all these changes lol

Default CAI Throwdown

Time, I plan on getting tuned by the May Dyno day, so hopefully we can do a intake-no tune dyno, then a intake-tune dyno and compare them to my 2 stock pulls from oct.

Seems like O/R X is MUCH more cost effective mod than a CAI. Way better numbers than the intake + tune only cars.

But that also requires deleting cats, which could then become an issue with inspection.
