So I stumbled upon this C&L intake from American Muscle and it shows that there are curve gains of 57 hp with this intake and tune. Now I can see 20 or 30hp with intake plus tune, but almost 60hp?!! Looking at the graph you can see the stock tune takes a dip in the midrange real bad. I know they're probably running 87 gas but can that account for such a bad drop? Is it torque management, timing, etc. ? I'm just wondering what can make the coyote pull power like that?

Also in one of their bolt on build up they had a '13 Shelby that did the same thing: (2:50)

You can hear the guy say that it was the throttle blade closing and that their tune would fix this. Could this be happening on the coyotes too?

There are certain conditions under which the throttle will close. IMO, it's exactly fair to claim such gains if these conditions occur.
