Default need more CAI info

I have used the search and still am not satisfied. I want a CAI without retuning and at this point want to get the (GMS) Granatelli CAI. I have read good things about it and want to see if there are any credible bad things..Or if another NON-TUNE CAI is way better and around the same $.I don't want run my 07 GT too lean......Also would like to know if anyone has any dyno #s of sock to after the GMS CAI non-tune kit. Thanks in advance.

For what you want..the granatelli is your best option....no tuneless CAI will give you the gains that the GMS does......

The Numbers wont be too much different without tuning.

Even with a CAI that does not "require" a tune, the car will run a bit more lean.

It will be safer on your engine to get a tune with a CAI, no matter which one. (more power too)

If you have your heart set on not getting a tune, i wouldnt invest in a CAI. Mabye try a different drop in filter for your stock airbox?

While the GMS doesnt require a tune, it has a recalibrated MAF so the tune is not needed. I would say a tuneless cai will give you 12 at the most, but the GMS should get you close to 20....alot more than a tuneless CAI but still possibly 10 short of a tuned CAI.

Howarmat just gave you the best advice you are going to get for this topic. Other than that, most that have the Granatelli really like it and there are a few that have had some really bad experiences if you look around a little more.
