Yes, the tune only will make an impact. The CAI is not required for the Stage 1 tune or Stage 2 tune, but is recommended. The only "hard parts" required is if you want to run the Stage 2 map, you will be required to run the COBB intercooler.
One thing to note is that there are discounts that come along the way with the Stage 1+ and Stage 2 kits. You will save a bit on both products when you combine them. If you're planning to go Stage 2, I would strongly recommend the COBB CAI for the increased flow rate and filter size.
If you have a 2017 truck, you may have a CEL with the COBB intake installed and no tune. If your truck is a 2018, you'll be fine. Also, the stock intercooler will be fine with the OEM tune.

the cobb intake would be great and all, if there was a non-oiled option.
there is no way in hell I'd risk taking an oiled filter on a multi-day run.
Cobb - pretty please... a non-oiled option.

it turning into a solid brick of dust and oil 100 miles from nowhere half way down the baja pennisula.
Most tour guides /groups won't be very happy if you show with an oiled filter due to all the issues that they've encountered in the past.
I think you may be overestimating the amount of oil on the filter. It's not submerged in oil and sent out. You're not able to feel any oil on it. If you are going to be out in the sand, we do have a filter sock that works great in that environment.

Kyle, I appreciate the option, but ANY OIL on a filter in the desert makes everything stick to it until the point of caking.
try this:
1. Hold an office raffle for a special prize.
2. Go stand in the Cobb parking lot and spray your skin with tanning oil, then blot the tanning oil.
3. Hand a blow dryer to the coworker that won the raffle.
4. have coworker turn on the hairdryer, point it at you, then have the lucky winner dump sand into the hair dryer.
5. tell me if the sand still sticks to your sort-of oily body.
Now imagine dumping 55 gallon drum after 55 gallon drum of sand over your head.
Anything that sticks is 100% more than if you hadnt oiled yourself up.
Most tour operators WILL NOT LET YOU CROSS INTO MEXICO WITH THEM until you swap your oiled filter for a dry or paper filter.
so yeah, I'll save the oil for my salad.
request still stands though. please offer the intake with a dry and reusable filter. I dont care if it adds horsepower, it makes the engine compartment look better. (and I have your other parts)
hell, send me a dry filter version along with a pair of 8 foot long, 3 foot tall cobb stickers and I'll get plenty of video of my truck in mexico torture testing the thing.

FWIW one of our Engineers has a Raptor and plays in the dunes often. He has the filter installed. There is plenty of sand that makes it into the airbox and there isn't anything caked to the filter (and that's without the sock installed). If you're in a more extreme environment, the sock will prevent any contact from anything to the filter. At this point, we don't have anything in the works to offer a dry filter, but there is likely something out there that will work if that's what you prefer.
