Suggestions? Also if possible, what's 'Aspirated'? and is my car?

tangerine · Jul 13, 2004

you have to be a little more specific. naturally aspired means that you do not have a supercharger or nitrious on you car. are you looking for a cold air intake or something like that.

04FamosoGT · Jul 13, 2004

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.

ok well a cold air may add 8-10 hp at the motor but not at the wheels. 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 gained 12RWHP with the Steeda Kit

ChrisWorrell · Jul 13, 2004

just the steeda intake alone? becuase i just finished installing my steeda CAI and im curious how much of an improvment it was

04FamosoGT · Jul 13, 2004

What would I need for my car? The System 4 and 4C? Anything else?

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.

I would put it on a dyno. That gtech comp. is way off. It said I had a 235hp at the wheels and 335 ft lbs of tq. Put it on a dyno to verify the before and after gains

KronicRacer · Jul 14, 2004

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.

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.

How many pulls were with the stock set-up and how many with the JLT? Was the car tuned with both intakes or just the JLT?

K&N FIPK II.
It is made out of ABS plastic and only has one bend, unlike the densecharger.
