Do I really need a dyno tune for a JLT cai?
I have two very reputable Mustang performance shops near me and I'd like to develop a good relationship with them. I got a quote for a JLT cai for my 2014 GT. It's upwards of around $1200. Looking at itemized, it make sense, but its still kinds steep for what it is. The service I'm questioning is the DYNO tune @ $400. I'm a class B mechanic so I can easily do the install and figure out the tuner(I'll ask that in another thread), but do I really need to get it on a DYNO?

Thanks. I was looking at AM to make the purchase of the two. They have a BAMA X4 that has tunes for life. Seems like a good choice.I just have to figure out how this canned/custom tune process works. The custom tunes require data logging and such. Its all new to me.

No need for logging as long as the time runs ok. I had a Steeda CAI with a steeda tune. Worked great right out of the box and I don’t have to log.
You need to to enter a bunch of data including S/N off the engine ECU so they get the parameters right.
