CAI No Tune Question

[Steeeliskt]

I have been lurking for a long time reading all the threads about the different intake systems and tunes. I originally was going to get an intake and a custom Lund tune, but the more I read... the more scared I am to screw with the computer and risk issues so I think for now, until I have the car paid off or have a separate vehicle for getting me to work I am going to avoid flashing the computer.

My question is -- has anyone ran a CAI that does NOT experience any funkyness with the engine without a custom tune? Any recommendations? I see a lot of people saying stock intake is just as good as aftermarket. I do have a catback system so I am thinking I may benefit from the intake but I want to run something that doesn't require a tune.

Any info/advise would be appreciated

Run an Airaid CAI. No tune required and looks snazzy.

Thanks. I was actually looking at those and did like the appearance.

No prob. I ran one in my car for a bit, and in my opinion engine bay "snazziness" increased by 30%. The build quality is outstanding.

Did you notice any actual performance difference? Did you have any other mods when you were running it? Did you notice a noise difference?

I am very torn because I sit on these forums all day reading everything that everyone is doing to their cars and as much as I would like to go crazy, this is the first time I have had a brand new Mustang and am actually worried about screwing things up. I use it as my daily driver so i'm trying to keep it somewhat reasonable lol. My previous Mustang's I did whatever I wanted without second thought.

For the most part intakes that require no tune have minimal to no gains. You'll benefit a lot more by going with an intake and custom tune. We offer some pretty awesome packages with custom tunes by Lund Racing and intakes from JLT, Airaid as well as Steeda.

Nothing gained with the Airaid, outside of "snazziness", so I switched it up. I ran a JLT set up with a Lund tune and made some really good gains, both on the butt dyno and on an actual dyno. I ran that set up until this past weekend, because I just supercharged the car. You WILL notice stronger performance out of your car with a good tune, and the intake enhances that.

I personally go through Lethal and Lund for most of my stuff, but Beefcake, Livernois, and a few of the others know their shit as well. All of them have some beastly cars on the road terrorizing Camaros and Challengers alike.

Pretty much what they said, and when your install is complete it will look like whats above.
FYI, if you are interested in an intake that requires a tune, I still have my JLT lying around. Make a decent offer and its yours.

I agree with them. I have had similar experiences. JLT and Lund is a great combo. Nothing to worry about.

 

[Jeffy_2010]

I plan on running the steeda pro-flow. Can run without a tune then once u decide to, pull out the insert and load up the Lund tune and bam!

 

[Steeeliskt]

Except the off chance I have some kind of issue that I want covered under warranty and have to deal with potential denial due to flashing the CPU. I hear great things about that combo. Still thinking about it.

Thanks I'll keep that in mind. I have a feeling that any " reasonable" offer for it I could make, I may just be better off just buying the CAI and tune combo that everyone sells and getting it new but I'll definitely PM you should I decide to pull the trigger and talk numbers. Really appreciate all the input!

Do you have dyno results with the JLT and tune only on a NA application?

On another note, How about the AIRRAID with no tune dyno results.

Thanks

 

[Jeffy_2010]

You have to run a tune with the jlt

 

[beefcake]

if your not doing a tune intake, don't bother spending the $$, unless you want the airaid for look.

there are things you can do like the airaid and a pedal max, but our lund / jlt combo, or our roush jlt combo really are the way to go

We only run JLT on our shop cars so I don't have any back to back dyno results with the Airaid.

Here's the results we got from the JLT intake and Lund Racing tune on 93 octane.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks, Jared
