Ported throttle body and replacement filter or CAI?
I am about to make some minor mods to my 2016 M7 Z06 and I was looking for some opinions. I am going to add the aux radiator, replacement x-pipe, DSC Sport controller and either a ported TB or a CAI. Based on ready a few of the threats I was wondering if it would be more beneficial to add a ported TB and a high flow filter rather than the Haltech or AFE CAI. Obviously I could do both, but was just curious if anyone had any thoughts on the relative benefits of one way vs the other.
The car is a daily driver and I plan to do a few track days in the summer. I do not drag race the car.
Thanks for your comments.

You will pick up more horsepower and torque from the CAI. Figure it for 15-20hp if using Halltech or AFe. You can feel this. The ported throttle body will provide a marginal increase in hp (0-5hp), but will assist with reducing the throttle lag/hesitation.
Go with both, if you can.
You could get away with no tune, but mine was tuned after similar mods that you are planning and the tune made a noticeable difference.
