Tune without aftermarket CAI/SRI - Thoughts
I'm curious as to whether anyone has gotten a tune without an aftermarket intake and posted any significant gains.
The reason I ask? I don't care too much for the intake growl. I know it sounds crazy, but after having many cars in the past with aftermarket intakes, it's annoying for some reason. Also, I don't think it's worth the cost. Cost isn't an issue for me, but I'd hate to spend $500+ on an intake and get the same results post tune without an aftermarket one in my engine bay. My plan is to get the 4.08 final drive, a tune, and call it a day. The only bolt on I have is the MXP exhaust, which I like since it's not too loud and relatively quiet on the interstate.
Anyway, thoughts?

i'm not an expert here, but isn't the point of a tune to adjust the a/f ratio and therefore optimize it for daily driving on the streets? the byproduct is hp/tq gain. so without intake + various other bolt ons (exhaust, cats), there wouldn't be much in terms of gains? but on the contrary though, the osiris (from what i've read) really does smooth things out for the car AND settles the issue with the throttle flaps @ WOT (~40% closer to redline). i think it also takes care of the lag issue (drive-by wire).

Technosquare's Nissan 370Z ECU reflash does not give as large gains on an engine with bolt on's as it does on a completely stock car but the gains are still across the board and pretty impressive
