Default Tuning help

I have 05 5.4 xlt with 153k miles. I have a gryphon tuner with custom lvl2 and custom lvl3 tunes. These tunes were written for a cai add on. I have since removed cai crap box for the stock box. Can i still use these tunes or go back to stock tunes? Im thinking the tunes will make me run rich? And if i do gotts mod can i use custom tunes no problem?. Called php and they never gave me straight answer just wanted to sell more custom tunes

if you have custom tunes written for a CAI and you remove the CAI I would not use those anylonger .. just go back to stock tunes with your stock intake.. make sense now ?

Cold air intake from my understanding just draws more warm air from engine bay correct?
Gotts mod is a modification to draw more cooler air from fenderwell correct?
So my tune is set for more warm air but im gonna change to more cold air. Im guessing the tune would benifit me instead of hurting me. Does this make sence or just hopeful thinking?

Im not sure what style of CAI you have...some have sealed air boxes and draw air from the front grill or even the fender well.. and I have no Idea what your tune is without seeing it...

Its called spectra just cheap from autozone. But its a 4 inch pipe to cone filter . My truck was shutting off cause tune was set for a regular 3 inch pipe. Thats why im wondering if gotts would suffice for it or actually go and get new tunes. Just hate wasting 80 bucks on a crap cai that cost 80 to tune. 160 out...

I believe iv tryed ur numbers summers and worked good. Im a very spirited driver. Mustang was sold for college and my trucks what i got now so still want that lowend power. Im slowly learning the tuning process just wanna get dialed in as possible.
