You'll need a PCM to go with that tuner.

The catch can will pay dividends down the road. Good choice. That was the first thing that I did to my truck

I have never used a tuner. Scratch can will help keep the throttle body clean along with some other benefits.

The catch can will not gain you any hp

:crazy: Unless you count stopping pre-detonation by keeping the motor oil out of your combustion chamber, and preventing the PCM from pulling timing.
So, perhaps not adding HP, but preserving HP. :burnout:

Tuner may gain you 5 HP increase, but a catch can will get you at least 25 HP gain and is much less expensive. :naughty:
LOL my CC gave me 50 hp !

All BS aside... Ran a catch can for 8 years, 4 years each on a 2011 and 2006 300C... Believe it or not, I could hear and feel when the catchcan needed to be emptied. It was less responsive and you could hear it wasn't 'breathing' as well. Consider what would happen if you put a pag over a portion of your air filter and ran it.

Catch can will save your engine. Tuner will net you some power. Keep in mind you will need an unlocked pcm to install your tuner.
