Alright pretty much i have a 2005 Saleen supercharged. Started out as a non supercharged saleen then the prevous owner bought the stock 475 saleen supercharger package, it was also tuned. My real question is, I bought a C and L Cold Air intake, I just put it on the car and it ran fine. but do i need to get the car retuned since i added the cold air intake? The cold air intake used the same mass airflow. Stock supercharged saleens even use the same mass air flow. So do you think i need the car retuned just since i added a cold air intake?

Thanks alot.

well because you are a 2005 I would say get a tune. the 05+ GTs need a tune even when stock and replacing the stock intake with a after-market CAI.

Thanks for the input bro!!. Do you think thu il be ok if i don't get a tune? I never got a tune before after just putting a intake on. But i am running boost thu.

You would probably get more info if you posted this in the 05 up section.

Boost makes your car sensitive to the smallest changes. I would always tune the car after any change at all, even if it is just to "check" to make sure it is still ok.

Harryman I want to race

Haha, that would be a sweet race. Our cars are pretty much exactly the same!
It would be a good way to settle the 4.10 vs 3.73 debate!
You do have 4.10's right?

cheaping out on a FI car is a great way to find yourself out a motor. if you have lots of these little mods you want to do, store them in the garage, slap them all on at the same time, and only have to pay for a tune once.

i would assume that you do need a new tune, or atleast have your current one checked. for instance when you swap the factory vortech intake to a power pipe, you gain 1-2psi boost pressure from less restriction in the intake. this means your car is taking in more air than it was before - and without a tune you could be running lean depending on how safe the car was originally tuned before. theres no way to tell if your car is "ok" or not right now until you get your AFR checked.

you can go to the dyno shop and just get them to run the car once and check the AFR measurement, that will tell you for sure if you need a tune or not. shouldnt cost more than 100 bucks and that is VERY cheap insurance compared to a new motor.

no you two racing will not end the debate. that debate will never end lol.

You don't need a new tune for a cai if it's already been tuned for fi.... All you did was reduce a restriction. If it was still na then you would need a tune for the cai to provide any gains but in your application you are good to go
