On my Fords I've run K&N, C&L, JLT, etc, but basically they all did pretty much the same thing even if some where generally thought to make a little more power or be build better than others. With these cars it's RotoFab or stay OEM. I think the JLT looks nice, the K&N looks nice, Cold Air Inductions looks nice, Airaid looks nice so why are these options discouraged for the GEN6 LT1 cars?

Roto Fab is the most recommended due to proven results and a lot tuner recommendations, but also group think. Plenty of people have had success with CAI (as well as the gm clone) as well as a few with the less popular and therefore less used jlt. Probably because it requires a tune.

If you are already tuned (different CAI) what will the tune for the intake change? Will it still need to be tuned?

They are popular in the Mustang world and are well respected.

Been wondering is a tune needed if you already have a good one.

Yeah you absolutely need a retune. Not even close

100% retune. Fueling goes very lean due to the larger diameter of the intake pipe. Maf has to be scaled.
