I dont think this line of logic is 100% sound.

The Visconti tune was created in the North East US (as far as I know) and was made to work with a completely stock car to maximize power gains across the rev range.

The AIRAID intake was created and tested in the South West US and was made to work with the stock ECU/MAF to maximize airflow (to a point). The intake has the restriction of only being tested with the stock tune.

There are too many variables (MAF placement, CFM at the MAF, intake tube diameter/length, ambient temp, air pressure, differences in gasoline) to say that without a doubt *ANY* intake that works with the stock tune will work with the Visconti tune.

Im willing to bet that any intake which changes the flow the MAF sees will have problems with any generic tune that is not specifically designed to work with that intake.

I have more thoughts to post on this that I will work out in my head and post tonight when Im out of work.
