Air Induction '04 GT 2V

I'm new to Mustangs (cars in general) - Thanks for the aspired definition.
I think I'm looking for a cold air intake - I'm looking to add about 8 - 10 hp with a bolt-on. I'd like my car to breath easier.
I see MAC and K&N but I don't know. I'd like to get opinions and experiences to better decide what is best for my model car.

If you are going to buy one get one that is made out of plastic because the ones that are metal heat up the intake air temp. I personally like the densecharger ones or the ones from www.jlttruecoldair.com . i think the one from JLT is the best because it mover the Intake air temperature sensor and the mass air flow in to the fender well. This is just my opinion though.

You might consider a BBK CAI. I don't think it will give you 8-10 HP, but IMO, its better than stock and I like the Bling factor. The air filter is located in the fender well. In case you are interested here's the web site and what it looks like installed.

Go with the full length densecharger with k/n. You wont be unhappy at all. It wont heat up like the chrome ones and it works very well with pro m mafs. The full set up, maf , tune and all go for around 330 dollars i think.

i too can vouch for the 10+hp gain (according to the gtec readout). i love the way the heat sheild looks on the steeda intake. i like it so far.

strange that the gtec wasnt accurate on your car
(im just using it as a guesstimator/tach). i agree completely the dyno would be the tell all final truth that would settle all of this hoopla. ill prolly make a run to the steeda rollers when i get a chance.
(im just using it as a guesstimator/tach). i agree completely the dyno would be the tell all final truth that would settle all of this hoopla. ill prolly make a run to the steeda rollers when i get a chance.Did 11 runs on the DynoJet today after installing the JLT RAI on my 04 GT. All were hot pulls with no cool down, adjusting the fuel first and then pulling timing back until I started to lose power. I also tested the stock Ford HP tune against the fine tuned Predator tune. Predator is worth 5-6 hp on hot pulls. Stats below are using the Predator tune.
Peak hp tq
Stock CAI/K&N/no Silencer 241.5 282.9
Tuckers RAI 247 289-290
The big difference is the after the peak hp and tq. The hp and tq don't drop off like the stock CAI(with silencer removed) with the spread going to 8-10 hp and 9-11 tq at 5700.
Drives great and going to the track tomorrow. Work on my 60 ft times and try to get into the 13's.
