looking to spend about 170 or so what would give me the most gain? I know people on here don't like CAI's at all but i have also heard alot of good stuff on the dense so I dont know what to do.

I would take anything over CAI... anything..

I say go with the plenum..

P.S. are you sure you want the C&L plenum? There're tests out there proven that accufab gives to most gains over the other 3 plenums...

Hey whatever works man... the results between those plenum tests were very close.. If you can find a good price for it then by all means get it. Tell us how it went as well

I would definitely go with the plenum over the CAI any day.

plenum. as far as c&l making a lower, they will all have to fit because they are all designed to mate to the factory intake flange. so in other words the c&l lower will most likely have the same style flange. otherwise thier upper would not work on thier lower.

Cool is Cool

I'd go CAI first, cause as long as you're flowing hot air into that plenum then your still not getting it's full potential

what is wrong with modders today? you were thinking about blowing 170 bucks on 4-5 hp when you could take that money and buy a midpipe or a TA and actually notice the gains

Every little bit helps, a good modded stang is like an ochestra with all the parts working together as one, each one doing its part no matter how big or small
