If you add an intake, you reprogram the Unichip for the intake… that’s why we make maps for different intakes and bolt-on configurations.
The question was what gains will a “stock” vehicle see… and the answer was a stock vehicle + Unichip mapped for the stock vehicle will get 80% of the gains that a CAI vehicle + Unichip programmed for that CAI will see.
Note that a “stock” calibration doesn’t mean the performance is “stock” it means the calibration was built for a vehicle with a “stock” configuration.
Most CAI's significantly change the calibration so the calibration you use should be for that intake… in that regard it doesn’t matter if it’s a Unichip or a reflash… the calibration is specific to the vehicle configuration. A “stock” vehicle map looks completely different than one for CAI Brand X which looks completely different from one for CAI Brand Y, etc….
With the correct tune, they can all make good power but if you actually bolt up CAI Brand X to the car but load the Unichip with a map for CAI Brand Y, you’ll probably end up with flat spots, fuel trims, and poor performance.
You should use a map built for the configuration and if you change the configuration, you can (and should) easily change the map. That’s why we make the maps and offer a simple home download program for them.
An E85 map for any configuration (stock, CAI, whatever… ) looks completely different from the low octane map for that configuration, which looks different from a premium fuel map for that configuration, etc… that's why we offer different maps for each of the fuel grades and are making seperate maps for E85.
