I didn't get the tuner yet. Roush says there's no need for one. If I go with the bigger throttle body and exhaust I will invest in it for sure. Will update soon

Thanks

No tune CAI aren't really going to net you anything.. And you will find strong negative opinions, including mine, on no tune CAIs and on throttle bodies as they are virtually worthless on these cars.. But it is your car so have fun with it.. A salesman (roush) will tell you anything to sell you something, an experienced group (like those found on here) will be the ones who know what is needed..

Bigger TB or exhaust (unless you mean headers) won't gain you anything on the 3.7L. Ignore the misleading advertised claims. And little to no gain with a stand-alone CAI, but it'll look nice.

Isn't the Roush a repackaged Airaid? As far as whether or not they make power, I went from stock 256rwhp to 292rwhp with a CAI, 93 octane tune, and catback exhaust. But the real story is in 1/4 mile track times which don't lie. So as far as I'm concerned these mods work.
