Tune needed? Switching intakes.

[ported 04]

Right now I have the K&N FIPK intake and i'm thinking about getting a JLT RAI since the filter on mine is getting nasty and tore up. I was wondering if I would need a new tune just swapping the K&N with the JLT intake? Any input would be great.

Thanks in advance,
Nathan

You shouldn't.

If you move around the Mass Air Meter, be careful with that. But you shouldn't need a retune.

Alright thanks man anyone else have input/opinions?

Yes keep the MAF orientation the same and you will be ok.

What do y'all mean by the mass air orientation?

your maf need to be the same angle when you take it off and put it back or it will throw your tune off.

well i had a k&n setup and it was tuned then. i switched to the jlt carbon fiber ram air and my car became lean. i installed the mass air meter the same direction and even tried to move it. car went from a 12.0 at wot to a 13.8 afr

but each car could be different. the good news is that i thought the same thing as everyone else and i beat the hell out of the car and even took it to the track a few times and she never blew up or gave me any indication of running lean. i found out on accident doing a dyno day at the car show. i was like sure why not. all three times we tried to dyno it the car went lean. and the jlt was the only mod changed from the k&n setup.

Alright thanks guys i'll run it on the dyno after I install the intake and see how the a/f is. ^So did you gain any power when you switched to the JLT?
