would it make any difference if a 2010 gets all the bolt-on and does not tune ? like will it be dangerous as it's running leaner than the stock 2008 tune

Yes, during spool you could go dangerously lean.

Did you get the boost pill from Bryan at GST? I understand that would give the car more power???

I've been seeing approx 30-40whp more 100% bone stock 2010's compared to 2008, baseline pulls, no tune.

2008 GSR baselines around 220-230 whp (depending on factory ROM ID)

2010 GSR baselines around 250-270 whp

Dangit, I have injen CAI/UICP along with tsudo v2 turboback exhaust I just installed sat night. Wonder how lean I am running now. Anyone log A/F's with intake and turbo back on a 2010? I haven't received a CEL, but I don't want to screw up my engine at all.
