I agree... the only time to go to an intake is when you're maxing out the MAF. Then you go to something like a BigMAF that requires retuning for the new MAF curve in order to get more flow and stay within the MAF's voltage range.

A CAI that doesn't require retuning is a waste of money, even if it flows better, since it's not the bottleneck anyway until you've run out of MAF voltage on the stock sensor.
