Aftermarket air filter allow the engine to take in more air and quicker, thereby giving the sensation of better throttle response. The car should revs up quicker. I do not know how it actually feels since I'm still running stock.

I think most people on here state you will not feel anything under 10hp. I would expect a 20+hp to be felt. The car should feel more lively.

From my understanding there is not much to tuning this car because they still haven't cracked vvel. Currently I would expect a tune to give around 10 hp if there are not other mods on the car my
I don't buy it on the intake filters allowing better throttle response, but that's just my theory as of today. I'd need to see some data or drive one before and after to speak confidently on the subject.

As for a tune only giving 10HP...unless timing can't be modified that has to be inaccurate. Adding only 1 degree would make more of a difference than that.
