Thanks for all of the replies!

The dyno is a tuning tool. I agree that a dyno can give you a number, but track testing will let you know the real results. We did this test the same day in the 3 configurations to keep it honest and the gains are the gains whether it makes 300 or 400 HP. It picked up 40 RWHP with the CAI and tune (28 from the tune alone and 12 additional with the CAI & tune).

Will this tune work with any CAI or is it specific to the Steeda CAI?

I can't believe I missed that. Thanks for pointing that out to me. I'm still shopping for the right tune & CAI to buy for my car.
