What is this product "claimed" to do exactly?
Will you kindly report your experiences post-install?
TIA. 
AFe "claims" +10HP and +14lbs TQ. From my heavy research on these, it looks like independent people have dyno tested them, and the results are lower than manufacturer claims, BUT aren't total snake oil. Average TQ gains looked to be about 7-14, but HP gains were typically nominal at 3-5HP. TORQUE, however, is our true friend, so $90 for 7-14TQ, when you're running out of mods to do, isn't too terrible of a trade off. The BIGGEST thing that the dyno results were showing though, is that these gains were recognized throughout the ENTIRE POWER BAND, which is actually kinda cool. So, while they don't work miracles by any means, if you're looking for a *little* bit extra, and have $90-$100 burning a hole in your pocket, they're worth a buy, IMO.
Would this require a re-tune?
2011 SHO with a 2015 SHO engine. She started out as the 2011 SEMA SHO by Rick Bottom Designs. Which had the following- H&R lowering springs, Baer Extreme brakes, 22 in axiom rims, Razzi body kit, Corsa performance exhaust, Airaid cold air intake, no weeds exhaust diverted, and a few other items. I then took her to National Speed of Wilmington NC where I had bigger ATP turbos, firestorm high pressure fuel pump, catless downpipes, 170 Tstat, 3bar MAP, tial BOV, EPP pipes, colder spark plugs, and HP tune.
