To tune or not To tune
Guys, i installed my CAI should i have the car retuned or leave as it is?,
i am planning on retuning it on a dyno once i put in the headers/exhaust/roller rockers/gears but a friend of mine told me its dangerous to have the intake installed without a tune

It couldn't hurt to have it tuned. I know the new Mustangs that is a requirement that they recommend.

Just wait until you get the headers and the rest of your mods. Tuning for a CAI is a waste of money.

I'm saying....dont dyno tune it until you have your other mods on it...hell he can just pull the fuse and let his computer relearn the new CAI for nothing.

If I were paying for it I wouldn't bother with a tune until I was done modding or got to a point where it wasn't drivable anymore (cam and heads) for instance.

I got a tune from MTI here in Houston about a year ago and picked up 14 rwhp and 14 rwtq for $350. Retunes are $75.00. I asked at that time if I would need to get a retune if I added a CAI or a Cat-back and Jason told me it wouldn't be necessary, the computer would adjust. I think it was a pretty good investment, especially for future mods.

Red- 2005 GTO
So is just a tune a good investment? I would like to do something for this summer, but I don't want to drop an arm and leg. Someone told me that just a normal tune can in some instances cause the car to be slower. Any suggestions?

New numbers with magnaflow x pipe, magnaflow mufflers and LPE CAI: 366rwhp 365rwtq, engine had 5000 miles today, Red LineLast edited by bluegoat06; 02-16-2006 at 09:10 AM.
