The reason why is because KB send the tune with the spark and a/f right where its supposed to be. After testing on many many cars they came up with the correct tune. The reason they don't want you to go to a dyno tuner is for the same reason I don't go to dyno tuners. There equipment is very used and as 02 sensors get used they read incorrect. And if it is incorrect and that tunner changes the a/f ratio from 11.5 (I think thats KB set a/f) to 12.0 BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
KB is only trying to protect you from messing your ***** up.

The guy was just wondering why KB says that and that is the explanation. I know that if you have heads and cams with a KB your a/f will be off compared to a stock heads and cams car with a KB. I was just giving him the reason why they say that. Which is true, I will never let a dyno tuner touch my cars with his equipment I'd rather rent the dyno and use my own stuff.
well the dyno tune spund like the awnser thanks guys
in the paperwork is says an open element filter that is inside the engine bay sucking up hot airKB also says that a large, open element filter won't make anymore horsepower on a blown engine either.
Honestly....think about it for a minute? What part of their product would you damage with a custom tune? A dyno tune makes no difference what so ever to the mechanical workings of the kit itself, so what really is it hurting? Maybe they're referring to the engine itself? In which case, I'd love for someone to post up how Kenne Bell came good for their engine rebuild after someone blew up their ride using one of their systems running their tune.
Believe half of what you read when it comes to KB propaganda. They're in it to make money more than anything else and they'll say whatever is necessary to get you to plop down your hard earned money on their product. This way you're more likely to buy their parts to retain this "magical warranty" than you are to buy it somewhere else and line someone else’s pockets instead of theirs.
I like their product, but IMO the rest of the company is ****!
Don't be too concerned about what they state in their "paperwork". They state this less because it’s ineffective for you engine and more so you’ll buy “their” cold air kit and accompanying tune. Yes, the air is going to be slightly warmer with an open element filter, but hardly hot. Especially once you get the car moving and the air starts moving around in the engine compartment. Any way you slice it, The engine will benefit more from ingesting large amounts of air from an open element filter, vs. trying to force it out of the stock air box....especially in a forced induction situation.in the paperwork is says an open element filter that is inside the engine bay sucking up hot air
