I recently installed a couple of common performance upgrades on my 2021 Ram 1500 with the 5.7L HEMI:
*S&B Cold Air Intake (CAI)
*Borla ATAK Cat-Back Exhaust
My question is: Do I need a custom tune (like an HP Tuners or Diablosport tune) to see a difference?
I know the CAI and exhaust change the airflow significantly. Will running the stock ECU mapping cause any issues, or am I just leaving a lot of horsepower and torque on the table?
I'm looking for advice on:
*Necessity: Will it actually make a noticeable difference in performance, throttle response, and shift points?
*Recommendations: What tuning platform (Diablosport, HP Tuners, etc.) and specific custom tune/tuner do you recommend for this combination?
Thanks in advance for the help! I appreciate any insight from those who have tuned their late-model HEMIs
