Default upgrade/tune with bigger MAF?

whats happenin fellas, gonna be buyin a densecharger cai with a bigger MAF, 75mm tb, and c&l plenum, I'm not gonna have to get it tuned or buy a chip correct? I wasnt sure or not because of allllll that extra air, and the MAF. What would I be lookin at for hp gains with the set up? around 20-30hp sounds right to me...btw not to sound like an *** but spare me all the C&L cai talk, I dont care to hear it and do not want one! thanks in advance

you don't have to have a chip or tune. They will always give you better performance but it isn't mandatory with these changes. I would guess closer to 20hp. Have fun with all the new goodies!

A chip is a waste of money.

Wait until you do some internal mods that will let you benefit from the chip like a cam and heads.
