Default Stock intake with tune?

Out of curiosity, how much power do you think can be had from a 93 octane tune on the stock intake with a K&N filter on a 3 valve?
Thanks!

depends on the tune and where it comes from, some people make big claims from there tune, the knn nothing really. but it would be better to get the tuner cold air combo

About 15-20 RWHP, depending on the tune. Add another 5 with the CAI.

Majority of the performance gain is in the custom tune. I highly recommend getting a custom tune from a reputable company such as AM or Brenspeed.

Going to have to respectfully disagree.

Dyno-ed my car completely stock, and it made 272/295

With a Bama 93 tune and O/H H, it made 281/307.

Just my personal experience.

Only 9 RWHP/12 ft lb gain with a Bama 93 tune??? And you didn't ask to find out if the dyno was off/not set up correctly or if it was the tune?

Yeah...I agree with this. Either something on that tune isn't going right or the dyno wasn't set up right. A good tune (Lund, Bama, Brenspeed) pretty much guarantees 15+ rwhp even without an intake.

I haven't dynod but I know sure as hell that I can feel a power increase and I only run my 87 street tune meaning with 93 you should definitely feel more.
