[QUOTE="MarcSpaz, post: 15528180, member: 183445"] I haven't done anything to my car yet, but I can tell you that with "just" a CAI and a tune, most of the increases will be seen because of the tune. Ford historically leaves some low rpm torque on the table. With previous gen cars, especially the 4v 5.0, I've seen gains of 60+ lbft of torque at 2000-3000 rpm. This is where the fun is for street driving. You won't see much in the way of peak numbers in power or a noticeable reduction in ET. A CAI isn't so much a cold air intake, but "more air" intake. Of you make the motor able to take air in better / at higher volume, you have to improve the entire air streams to see improvements. Usually this means intake and exhaust. Sometimes cams, etc.. CAI got really popular early on because the look much better than the stock air box on many cars. Even though there was no performance gain, people would add them for appearance. I've spent some time in Jay's shop a few years ago. I saw behind the curtain, and I like what they do. If I were going to buy today, I would get something from him. Just be realistic in your expectations and understand the end result. [/QUOTE]
