Specific Tune Question
Currently driving a 2007 4.0 L V6 with BBK CAI (no tune - this tune boasts that you do not need one which is why I am writing this...). I am debating on whether or not I should get a tune. I want to increase performance but am wondering if it is worth it. The BBK tech staff said that if I do get a tune, I should choose a tune that is designed for my stock air box because that is what the CAI mass air meter replaces. Any advice from someone that has a BBK CAI and tune would be great, or anyone else that wants to chime in with advice, feel free. Thanks.

Do yourself a favor and get a tune. Don't fall for the no tune required blasphemy. Mine threw a code for running lean about a month later. The most power gained is from the tune in conjunction with the CAI. The CAI is very minimal on it's own. Since I got the tune, I never looked back. Brenspeed can write you a custom tune for the BBK CAI and if you have any other mods.

Definitely get a tune, you're tuneless CAI is doing almost nothing without it and you'll have a whole lot more fun with your car.
I did use my tuneless K&N for a while, no trouble codes, picked up an MPG, and got a decent sound out of it, but the tune definitely woke the car up.

I'll bet nobody has told you that a CAI w/o a tune is about useless for performance and even fewer nobodies told you that a CAI & custom tune is one of the bigger bangs-for-the-buck short of going FI.
Shhhhh... don't tell anyone, though. We don't want word to get out.

Before/after will be night and day difference. Throttle response, power throughout the entire curve, etc. We eliminate the annoying throttle hang, slop in the automatic transmission and other factory driving quirks!
Get a tune!

Just be careful amwilson. These car forums (regardless of the type of car) are a treasure trove of bad information put out there by guys who don't have a clue what they're talking about. There's some good information too. Unfortunately there's not a BS meter in the corner of your screen to warn you one way or the other.
