Disappointed about Steeda CAI and Tune

Don't run the car with the CAI on there and STOCK tune! That could damage the engine, which is not good at all.
When I first got mine I went with the setup from American Muscle with their Bama tune. I went from 375 at the rears to 412, so something is not running right there.
I have had custom tuning done to the car since then and its now getting up to 420 really have to push it to make it do it though.
But do not run the stock tune on there with that intake, unless it specifically says no tune required but in that case the CAI is just a waste and not doing anything, but look nice.

Can't wait to see now what is the actual gain with this new tune.
