[QUOTE="SVTCobra306, post: 9643959, member: 19605"] Newer cars (05 and up mostly) tend to have options in an SF3 that will list what brand intake you have, and it will mostly set the MAF Transfer function to match that intake and prevent driveability problems or a CEL. It is still not tuned to what the specific engine and trans need. A dyno tune is the only way to get that spot-on. American Muscle and most other mail order tunes will be fairly close but will nearly always be safe on the rich side.. they don't want to blow your junk up and get blamed for it. Usually there's another 5-10 HP to be found by a good tuner over a mail-order.. I've seen this more than once. If you only have minor bolt-ons I wouldn't worry about it yet. Realistically I usually draw the line at longtube headers or aftermarket camshafts to "require" a tune.. and obviously nearly any power adder (especially boost) is going to run best with a dyno tune.
