Wow, comparing a diesel tuner to a gas tuner is crazy. A diesel does not follow the same set of rules, it is dependant on the injection pressure, pulse width, and pulse timing. Your SCT looks terrible by the way. If that were properly tuned you would have a 6.0 in the area of 410-430 HP with 4" exhaust and an intake. 380 is about 40hp low, unless that is a SCT Strategy Flash tuner. If thats a custom tune, who did it? Any ways, you can not do to a gas car what you can with a diesel when talking about tuners. On a Duramax I can do a 350 HP gain with a tuner, on a 6.0 Ford I can do 160HP. On a gas.....most consider themselves lucky to get 30-40 HP tops from a tuner. The water meth kit is not comparable from gas to diesel. Take your 6.0 and toss a stage 2 or stage 3 snow performance kit on there and your talking about 80-120 HP....you will not see that from these gas powered Mazda engines. So you are dead on....it is not a good comparison for tuners or meth, but no one said you can get the same from tuners or meth on a Mazda as you can on a diesel....???? so what exactly is all that about? Diesel.....add tuner and water meth and you add almost 300 HP on your Ford as well as add 600-650 TQ.....no one here claims this is true of a Mazda! Even if you could add that much power and tq....t he engine would crack in half in the Mazda! We are talking 20-30 on the meth, maybe pushing towards 40-50 with a tune that can lean out the fuel/air and increase timing a bit. The 40-50 is not the meth alone, it is the meth and tuner working together. THis is VERY realistic.
BTW your airaid intake is what I consider the best bang for the buck, and performs as well as the AFE that goes for almost twice the cash...good call on that!
