My vararam and canned tune only '01 trapped 117, so I wouldn't say they do nothing, just don't expect to set the world on fire from just a CAI.
Ding ding ding. You read my mind. Switching intakes at the track with the same tune is pointless IMO.

Who is arguing *****? My point was stock mph for the '01 cars is usually 113ish and mine trapped 117 with just a CAI and canned tune, so obviously they don't do "nothing."
