So just to 'dumb it down' for those of us that don't have experience writing ECU software ... Are you basically saying that, because more air is inherently and passively introduced into the combustion chamber (however according to Marty, ONLY near WOT), one needs a tune so that the ECU knows to send more fuel in there to take advantage of said increased O2? And I am guessing that this is because our "MAF Sensor" isn't really a MAF Sensor (think I read that here), so without the tune, the car doesn't know about the additional air?
