something I'm sure a few 2010 guys have noticed already is the HP/TQ gains from Tuning.

with a 05-09, you can pick up 20-30 RWHP with a CAI + Tuning.


with a Bullitt or a 2010, those gains are not nearly as significant. We are already benefiting from the better OEM tuning. So it's a little disheartening when you see maybe a 10 RWHP gain from custom tuning on these things.
I do wonder though what kind of gains a 2010 can get from putting on a traditional CAI + custom tuning

I thought I read that the 2010 uses Premium if you want the extra power and if you use 87 you lose it.

I will look up the article.

The real reason is because they added a TB spacer.

I doubt that it's much different from the FRPP cold air & tune. M-9603-B is claimed to add ~20 hp. My WAG - and it's only a guess - is that the fuel map is still a little 'fatter' up top than the FRPP for extended converter durability / emissions warranty purposes.

It's also possible that Ford doesn't want to get burned again with engines that don't make the claimed numbers, and understate them slightly. Again, just a guess, but not an unreasonable one.

Generally a more agressive tune will also add additional stress on engine components. The 15 crank though pretty weak is their way of giving people more power while still playing it safe.

That's pretty weird if they put the CAI inside the air box. I fail to see how that helps anything.

Oh that must be it right there. Putting snow flakes all around it totally drops the temps by 30 degrees, minimum.

I think I'll go add 15 more HP by adding snowflake stickers all over my CAI's heat shield.

Did for measure 87 octane to 87 octane in both cars or was this the 91 octane in the 2010?
