Question Get a K&N Typhoon intake or get a ZZP LNF PCM tune?

Get the intake, orgasm the sound and run lean, or get a ZZP LNF PCM tune and get POWER! Also is GMS1 sensors needed for the 22PSI?

Tune. Easy choice.

And I believe it's 23.5PSI, and they require a tune adjustment.

Buy the tune and mod your stock intake box. Done.

ur not gonna run lean getting a intake. fuel trims will be a little out but u can run it. I did for a year before I tuned. if u wanna do it right get hp tuned by someone. u don't need gms1 sensors for 22 psi. the zzp tune is still a can tune, where as if u get hp tuned, save up money and get hp tuners and get a good tuner to remote tune u. u will be much happier.

What tomj77 said.

I'm sure the billion other posts about this topic make this clear, but you realize while yes... the trim is off, the PCM has compensated that % to reach the target lambda. You aren't going to see a CEL/MIL or blow up your car with an intake like a K&N. That's the whole point of the trimming, because even all things being equal stock its not going to be 0% all the time in every environment.

Much ado about nothing for 99.99% of the population here.
