An experienced tuner can tune anything on a dyno as long as he has compatible software. Manufacturers will keep making it more difficult to crack programs.

Air raid uses stock tube instead of fabing one specific and their air redirects are rediculous

XDI is full of **** and has no protection from engine heat I can see it you cant talk me out of it,

K&N releases their products later but their fabbed for the specific project and get a nice seal against the hood and still suck in alot of air.


as for the programming debate I stick with a handheld tuner over some shops supposed super tune. first and foremost it renders your lifetime warranty null and void which is why a handheld that can easily set itself back to stock is the best option unless your going to build up the engine and void it anyway.

and wheres the dyno tests before and after for this super tune???????
