There is not much horsepower added with a manufacture's tune. That's why they can offer a warranty. It's usually a very safe and generic tune. In my experience, the great advantage in these tunes are the improvement in throttle response and increase in power near the red line where as normally the power is being pulled in anticipation of the limiter. The open air filter adds some noise too which adds to the excitment. If you track your car, you never miss tha downshift blip as it is always there unlike the standard set-up.
So yes I think its a good deal if they offered a CAI/tune under $1000.
However an after market system will give you a slightly better tune and can be removed easily for warranty work which is what I do with my Steeda CAI/tune.
Cheers.
