Default Magnaflow + Airaid...retune?

Hey, new to the forum, just got my 2007 XLT Supercab with the 5.4L. I'm having my Magnaflow SIDO system installed next week, and should have my Airaid 400-140-2 within the next couple weeks. From the research I've done, there seems to be some information saying that the Airaid system is one of the few that will not cause the newer 3-valve engines to run lean. Can I run this setup without worrying about a lean condition? Thanks.

This is probably something that's been brought up countless times before, but I'm concerned with my warranty. If something goes wrong I can throw the old intake on real fast no problem. With a tune it might not be so easy?

just return the EEC to stock with the tuner.

Does the EEC keep track of tune changes?

what do you mean?

if you want to make a change, then reflash the EEC.

I'd considered going with the air raid intake....then the tune later when I save up some more cash.

Anybody heard anything about the Diablo tuners?
