I have a 2005 Mustang V6 with FRPP Duel Exhaust and a CAI.

The weird thing about the CAI is that It's one that didn't need a tuner to take effect.

BBK Cold Air Intake (2005+ V6) at AmericanMuscle.com - Free Shipping!

What I was wondering, is what would be the best tuner to buy to go along with this intake, and should I buy a new intake to go along with the tuner for maximum effect, or can I save money and keep my intake and get good results still?

Thanks!

I'd get a different intake like the C&L. I'd recommend a Xcal3 from VMP Tuning, too.

VMP Tuning is definitely the way to go. Justin is very helpful.
