In general Im really curious to see how much hp a non-ECU-needing intake makes once you have a tune on it.

X intake w/o tune = 4hp.

Y intake which needs a tune = 8hp.

Would X intake make 8hp with a tune anyways, and if so in the end will you just be better off buying the non-ECU-needing intake so you can get gains without having to spend an extra $500-1000? Time will tell on this, but the hp/$ factor for in intake that also needs a piggyback ECU to be installed seems like it would be really, really low...

...unless it makes a shit ton of power. I'm really looking forward to the dyno results on this intake.
