I think a drop in filter would be very comparable with a CAI system.
This is more and more interesting to me as well.

I'm hoping more will chime in like Dirty and King as to their Dyno results or personal experiences to any noticeable gains etc. and get some good numbers to play with and compare in one compiled thread.

The thing is that if you are going from stock to CAI and tune, you still won't know how much of the HP is from the intake or tune. The car needs to be already tuned, then add the CAI then re-tune it to see the real results. I'm only expecting maybe 3-4hp more. Will be very interesting to see though.
This would be optimal for sure. You thinking that a tune 1st, and CAI tune 2nd, would net less of a Dyno improvement over a CAI 1st and tune 2nd? Obviously the manufacturers methods are stock pull/CAI pull/Tune & CAI pulls
