05 Throttle lag

i would honestly look at an aftermarket tuner/cai combo. if you dont want to shell out the $$ for the package, get the tuner first. and then later get the cai. c&l and diablosport worked together on their package. thats what i have, but ive also heard great things about sct tuners. as for an exhaust i would definitely go aftermarket. there are too many to list. depends on preference and how much you like your neighbors

Well I am leaning strongly toward a tuner install, was wondering? My dealer also a good friend aqsked me to think about the Ford upgrade-a intake, exhaust, and tuner put on by Ford under warranty. I think all totaled about $1200? Has anybody used this or know anything about it?

if that is all you ever plan on doing to the car, that is a decent option. if you ever plan to mod more than that, you will have a useless tuner from ford. it has no adjustability or potential to grow with your car. i suggest going aftermarket if you plan to do any other mods to your car. an aftermarket tuner has the adjustability you will need further down the line.

If I keep it to the posted speed limit or 5 over, I can get 24 MPG with my CAI, SCT tuner(93 tune), O/R H and 4.10s in my automatic. My average is around 19 with mixed driving. Not shabby at all.

well im going to throw this in here, i get about 550 Km on one 60 L tank of gas on the highway, and about 400 in the city. Thats better gas milage then my 6 Cyl minivan ( Winter Vehicle!!!)
