naa that's been proven wrong many many times. ive seen several dyno sheets showing that the a/f ratios are perfectly fine with a CAI on the s/c and trd tune. it wont lean out if the intake is designed correctly.

granted there are a couple of people who did this and were ok...but i have also seen more cases here alone that the exact opposite was true...better safe than sorry.

I would tune it to be on the safe side more instances where its running lean than ok.

Small thread jack. I am planning on getting a unichip for my car and getting tuned for the 9.5 pulley which I am running now. I have seen folks saying a point both ways if anyone can clarify, I have the TRD reflash am I ok to tune with the unichip or should I get another ECU without the reflash? I have seen people saying you will have trouble with timing but I don't understand this part, does the TRD reflash lock out otherwise adjustbale parameters on a stock ECU?

I would like the ability to remove the piggyback at some point and be able to return the car to SC stock trim.

i would perfer the greddy ult. instead. but if you in budget the blue works fine.. but i believe its better overall performance and drivable then the blue because you can fine tune it.

Let us know how that goes tuning with the TRD flash, I just want to know if I should plan on getting another ECU so I can keep one with the trd flash since its cheaper just to buy a stock one for like 40 bucks.
