The dyno was fine, tune was a point lean.

Called to get it corrected, but at the same time I threw the intake on, so it kinda messed with things a bit.

Even that ended up a point lean, so I just went with a dyno tune and never looked back.

I ran a tune on my 08 a/t without an intake for a while. I would say Nukes take is correct, probably about 15-20hp increase. After putting an intake back on with an updated tune, here's what I noticed...
Better throttle responce out of the hole
Smoother in the upper rpm range (4k plus), probably where you see the 5hp increase.
Different exhaust note, not louder but has more of a rip with the intake.

Yeah, the 5.0 really takes to tuning. It responds a bit better percentage wise than the 4.6
