Intake for a Non-tuned Car

We did back-to-back testing at the track between the JLT and stock airbox using the same tune sans the MAF transfer function. The difference in times:

.06

That falls within the margin of error. There are no real performance gains to be had running an aftermarket CAI. Run one for looks/sound only.

So then an aftermarket CAI has no better effect on the engine's potential cfm as the stock intake?

The stock CAI flows enough air that it isn't a restriction. Ford did their homework.
