Default Dyno Question

Hey guys, been a while since I've been onhere.

In 2010 I did some pacesetter long tubes and y-pipe with a open turndown out back. Car is a 1997 camaro A4 with 75,680 miles stock internals.

Numbers before:

rwhp - 240
rwtq - 270

Numbers after:

rwhp - 265
rwtq - 294

I recently installed a full CAI from lingenfelter cold air intake from yofab. Would it be in my best interest to re-dyno and retune my car. I've maybe driven 100 miles since I installed the CAI system. Any guesses on how much I'd gain? Thanks for the input, tuner was dyno dan at dynosport in Lincoln, Nebraska. Have had some suggestions to try ION tuning where I send in my PCM any thoughts here?

Thanks,

Devin

The MAF is reading the extra air, don't **** away more money on a retune.

dont you have to retune the BLMs with the maf sensor to get the proper AFR in non PE mode?

In PE mode the extra air might lean you out which would probably be a good thing considering LT1s run really rich at WOT with the stock tune right?

just my .2 cents

The reason for BLM's is to keep the closed loop afrs the same all the time. no need to do anything as long as there is enough fueling adjustments that are allowed by the pcm.
