Several independent dynos show that a JLT or Airaid CAI makes almost as much as a tune. Together they make a couple extra hp but smooth out the power curve to some extent. Even Bama admitted this in the forums and in a YouTube video.

I'd like to see the proof that a no-tune aftermarket intake install made as much power as a tune with stock intake.. Please direct to a website or a dyno graph where someone dyno'd there car with just an intake and no tune..

Here you go my friend:
Three variables are creating more power for this motor in this combination: intake, 93 octane and the tune. Switching from 87 to 93 octane gives you 6-8hp just by itself since the motor uses the exact technology as the 5.0. Ford engineers discussed that when the 3.7 first came out in MMFF magazine.

hogasswild,
This is a great technical video to watch for non-bias facts. I know it's a little long and drawn out, but it really shows exactly what you're getting with a CAI and factory tune. Although, it's surprising to some people, you really do pick some power up (especially down low) from an aftermarket CAI and stock tune. Thanks for posting this and showing these factual results!
