Any noticeable gains for a na sc400 w/ intake+exhaust on a tune?
Sup guys, I have a 98 sc400 with an intake. I'm going to be getting an exhaust done soon with magnaflows and going 2.25 piping. I just wanted to know if there would be any noticeable gains with an AEM FIC 8 ems? Is it worth doing? Will i feel a boost in power with just my intake and a tune? Thanks

I think your SRT "chip" is already working to fool the ecu to read a higher air flow rate. You may be able to tune the engine with a piggy back to deliver peak power later in the power band for a higher maximum output, but you won't see any real performance gains like that without supporting mods to the engine. That's where it becomes cheaper to go with forced induction.
