I put a separate air temp gauge in my CAI box after installing a scoop. Only a +4-5 degree IAT difference to outside air temp (depending on speed) compared to +10-15 without scoop. So at best your engine will run with 5-10 degrees “cooler” air with the scoop (which will vary depending on speed). Because of temp variations that’s probably reason Dyno Steve says a retune isn’t needed.
