Join the club, I just found an intake leak this week as well. I am tuned and now wondering what affect that had on the tune. Why was yours leaking?

As long as the a/f was cocrrect, and you didnt have any KR left over from part throttle, i dont think you left anything on the table.

I would doubt there is anything left on the table at all. Just the fact that when you fix the leak your tune is going to be off. Plus your idle and other stuff will be messed up since it was tuned with unmetered air coming in.

if the leak wasnt to bad,no loud hissing then you wont see anything really.It will throw off your tune no matter what,so have it tuned when its fixed.
