Default 2010 GT: 15rwhp with C&L CAI and Tune

Has anyone tried out the C&L CAI with the C&L tune (DS Predator) for the 2010 GTs? They claim about 15 more hp over stock. Here is a link (hopefully this is allowed): http://www.cnlperformance.com/2010GT.html (scroll down to the bottom 1/3 of the page).

I suppose going with the "no tune" insert would be smarter so if it needs to go to the dealer, you can simply put the "no tune" insert on and reinstall the stock tune.

15 RWHP on a '10 with a CAI & good custom tune is about right. On an '05-'09 the gains are 20-25 RWHP but since the '10's tune is already tweaked for 15 crank HP over the 05-09's (about 12-13 RWHP) 15 RWHP is probably on the high end but possible on a '10. Bottom line: a '10 with CAI & tune is on par with an '05-'09 with a similar CAI & tune.

I've never returned the car to stock when I took my car in under warranty; probably about 3-4 times; and was never hassled. Unless the CAI & tune was the cause of the failure/problem, the dealer cannot deny you warranty work (unless, of course, you show up in your panties and skirt).
