Dyno Science: "CAI" Box vs Open Cone Intake

[comengetit]

I have a delema....i had tomaro planned out for a "simple intake" mod with a spectre 4" cone filter. then i started thinkn. now i dont have any mods n one of the first ones they say to do is the intake. i can see no problem there....as long as u do the headers and a pcm. but what if i dont have the ability to drop the loot for all three at once? when i raced MX if we messed with the air filter, i had to retune the jetting on my yfz. my dad has a 400hp gsx and he tunes with dsm link off of a laptop(ya....a ricer lol). now when he floors it the computer is no longer in play....its all about his tune setup. well what about me???? i cant tune or monitor anything. when i floor my gtp after completly changing my intake from stock design....wont i be leaning my car out? does opening up our intakes not allow more air into it causing factory tunes to be leaned out? if not, if my gtp can handle this change with no negative results...then im installing my "HAI" tomaro. Does anyone know the truth behind this?

Band me if you must/want but im tired of this bs, a boosted car with access to any air will suck in as much air as it can. 9psi is 9psi since our cars run hot the colder temp is what we want. If you don't have enough air drop a pulley size. Since most people cant flow a stock gen 3 m90 on a 3.25 I vote for the cai to save what pain we put these motors through, but what the **** do I know I only have a degree in mechanical engineering so I must be dumb.

Mechanical Engineering degree ='s "band me"

An intake is an intake in the overall realm of things who cares......... I know one thing if I had an engineering degree I wouldn't drive a GTP
