when reverting to stock for service, do you have to do anything besides reflashing the stock tune and replacing the airbox? do you have to reset the CPU or anything?
Because we will pay. This Mustang stuff is dirt cheap compared to the stuff I buy for my HD VROD. I almost giggle when I look at prices for Mustang mods.
No kidding Gazoo, I just have a Honda and even that crud is pricey sometimes. The only thing I think is a little too expensive are the superchargers.....3500-4k should be the goin rate.

I have a question. I installed a CAI and left in the spacer because the instructions said to leave it in unless you get your car tuned. Since I first installed the CAI I have installed a SCT tuner. Can I take the CAI spacer to allow more air in without doing any additional adjustments with the SCT? I would appreciate any comments.
06 Mustang Gt. CAI -Need to know a simple appoach as how to separate the PCV tube from the side of the inlet hose. Directions state to twist the green locking cap and pull. Having trouble doing this without breaking the thing. Any advice would be appreciated. DB
Removed stock exaust and installed X-pipe and Flowmasters on 2005 GT. Since air flow increased and cats are removed what's the best way to eliminate the Check-Engine light?
Get yourself an SCT tuner or one comparable. It'll cost you close to $400. The computer has to be re-programmed to compensate for the additional air into the system. While your at it, might just as well install a CAI system, which is what I did without tuning it and everytime you open it up a little it causes the engine light to come on. If you disconnect both cables from the battery for about 15 minutes, it will eliminate the lite but only till next time. My tuner will be in this week . Let you know how I make out if your still interested. DB

The CEL for the exhaust is because lack of cats and you will need to have your tuner turn them off in the tune if you have the XCal or you can turn them off yourself if you have a Diablo.
Greetings from Iraq. While I am deployed, my 07 GT is in storage. The only Mods to my Stang so far is the Flowmaster American Thunder. However, I would like to by mods and have them waiting for me when I return. As far as CAI, there are so many, and I have read most the threads and still cant make up my mind. In your opinion which CAI/Tuner combo will give me the best bang for my buck? Are you aware of any websites that will offer a military discount?
Also, The tuner that will come with the CAI, can I use the same tuner at a later date to make adjustments with consideration to long tube headers or do I need to purchase a separate flash?
Greetings, I have question similar to Daytona GT/CS's question. Recently I installed a roush/airaid cai, and purchased a sct x3 from american muscle. In my special instructions I noted that I wanted a tune that compensated for the removal of the venturi tube. American muscle called me and told me that removing the venturi even with a tune would reduce performance and I was better of leaving the tube in. How can this be? The cai instructions say not to remove the tube without a tune. I thought the tune was for compensating for the increased air flow/lean condition. If I leave the tube in whats the benefit of even having a tune? Man, that phone call confused the **** out of me. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
First Dr_BlackStang Thank You For Your Service!! Stay Safe And Keep Up The Good Work!! I am the Proud Father Of A US Marine Currently In Iraq, Who owns A 06 GT Premium that We are doing mods to while he's Deployed. It's His War Pony!! So Far We Have Done The Steeda CAI with tuner. The tune was done by Brenspeed, I ordered it and it was pretty much plug and play, it took less than an hour to install and it is the CAI that we can use with his future Super Charger Upgrade (the Saleen 475hp kit). After I installed it the Performance gains where Awesome, We opted for the 92 Octane Tune and it really runs alot better, the throttle response is Crisp and the launch is much better. I am very happy with the purchase the HP & Torque Gains are Noticeable!!

Sooo... what exactly happens if you install a CAI kit and don''t get a tune at the same time??? I''m thinking about getting the SCT Livewire, but I''m thinking I should get a CAI first or can that be done seperately? I see this thread hasn''t been active in a while? Any suggestions?

Some CAIs you can run w/o a tuner. If you run a CAI that is supposed to be used w/a tuner, then your air/fuel will be off. Your check engine light will come on and your car may stall. Also this could damage your engine. Best bet is to get a CAI/Tune package. If you cant do that then just the get a tuner.
i am interrested with an JLT CAI with SCT 3 tuner for my soon roush stage 1 2006. i see all of you that got this , the SCT coming with three " pre tune octane 89 91 and 93 "
my question : is that the tunes for fitting with the JLT CAI ? or is it something else and tune for JLT is named "JLT tune"?
my soon car come in France with flexfuel adaptator, can i put a CAI ? ( i think flexfuel octane is near 104 points.... )
i am sorry to post those questions but i haven''t still one answers to my questions in french forum.....

If the MAF housing of the new intake is the same size as the stock one, then it will most likely run without any problems. But if the MAF housing is larger than stock, the engine will run lean.
Hey guys I have a granatelli cold air intake that does not require a tuner. However, someone told me i am not getting the most out of it since it does not require a tune. What tuner can I get to help me with a little boost? What would you guys recommend.
