I don't know, would a lower throttle actually decrease the airflow? Seems like airflow is more of an analog condition where what comes in is what comes in. The MAF will only tell the ECU/ECM to increase or decrease the fuel based on the amount of air detected. But like I said earlier, the supercharger may decrease how fast it spins if it's only trying to spin at a certain speed. I personally would like to include a tune, but I also don't see the need to do a tune if you're just installing an intake. I'd prefer to do a tune after throwing on more than a few bolt-ons. Intake, IMO is a good "gateway drug" for the drug of modding.
