The intercooler keeps IAT (intake air temp) down with any tune you increase boost= more heat. You retain any power that maybe lost from high IAT’s.

DP jb4 no longer autoclears and CEL. Adding DP frees up restriction and works with tune yes.

Bootmod3 or MHD will take advantage of the hardware especially with a custom flash tune.
Yeah, I know flash tunes are always better, but I know the more complex versions of the JB tunes also could be adjusted based on what Hardware you are running. Plus, until 6 months ago, there was no such thing as a flash for these cars, so the piggys were the only way to go and what many people own.

I'm not talking about the minimal gains you get from when you upgrade the FMIC on its own, which it sounds like is what you're referring to. Heck, even without a tune at all, you can add a FMIC and get some gains. Same with the DP.

To fully take advantage of hardware upgrades, You have to be able to tweak the tune or piggyback. Like the "stages" for the Cobb tune I was talking about.

Do you know whether the JB Stage 1 or JB4 can actually be set up based on your hardware?
