I know that a Cold Air Intake along with a tune can provide gains —- but with the rest of the engine being completely stock, which tuner would be the best to use?
I personally am of the belief that a CAI can help with throttle response, but as far as actual power to the road, you'll be hard pressed to see any gains over the stock airbox.
That is kind of why I asked the original question. If I could save hundreds of $$’s NOT buying the (useless) CAI, I’d more likely consider doing so for a decent tune.
I bought a araid jr mit instead of a full cai looks much better the the stock intake tube and cheaper than a cai.Also i just got tunes from vmp what they do is they send you one tune and you have to datalog it so they make sure the tune is right and safe before they send the other ones.. .Very happy with them .
Just one of those things to keep me from wanting a 2018 or 2019 Bullitt. Once the warranty is gone, I am either going to tune or supercharge....just because I want to.
And yes, I know that one is 20 times more expensive than the other.......
Looks like some for your tunes are off road only? Will they pass emissions testing here in Washington? All of our new vehicles here must conform to California emissions equipment and exhaust standards.
For a completely stock motor, consider the Ford Racing Performance Pro-Cal tunes. They are designed for your specific VIN and are California emissions legal.
Last year California had a bill before the legislature that would ban all internal combustion engines on California roads by 2040. It didn't pass but it is scary that it even got proposed.
Why? It's coming eventually. Electric performance cars are crazy bat**** fast and instant torque. Laws like that have passed in Europe already and cities are banning any vehicles except public transit and delivery vehicles at certain times. Makes sense to be tbth... Not saying cars should go away or anything but the next 10-25 years will be massive change to the point many ppl will just summon automated taxis vs having their own car.
