Default CAI question

So Im looking to get a CAI, but DO NOT want to retune my car. I'm looking at the Airaid CAI that needs no computer tuning. It says you gain 17 rear wheel horsepower and 21 rear wheel torque while still maintaning your stock computer settings. I was wondering if you have to bump up to premium fuel or not.Does anyone have this or know more about it? ninosport has a deal going where you get this CAI and the Boomtube axle backs for around$550.-Thanks http://www.airaid.com/450-172_ford.asp

+2, if you want real performance you need to tune it even if your using the no tune cai's like the airaid. The difference is night and day.
