CAI & Tune Q's

What is the best bang for the buck on a CAI & tune package in your opinions? I'am looking at the C&L trueflow & X cal 2 for around $650.00 total. I like the cast inlet oposed to plastic. Any thoughts from any of you that have purchased them?? That's about $18.50 per horse if you get the claimed 35rwhp. I have NOS that will give me around 100hp for around $5.35 per horse. Sorry but i'am not about to spend $30-$35 per horse on a SC
PLEASE NOTE: All figures are approx.

I think number 1 and 2 on this forum are C&N and JLT. Although someone did mentionSteeda having a big piece of the pie but they keep quiet.

I went with JLT with a SCT tuner from a local shop here in the Portland area.

JLT, JTI (DeMolet Tunable Induction), and C&L are the most popular/best bang for the $$$. the C&L is the most $$ out of that list, while the JLT and JTI are close in price.

The best power and lowest price are had with Demolet's inductions (tunableinduction.com). Call the main number because they have some specials right now. List on the web was $225, but got mine for $215 including shipping. I know you need a SCT tuner, but his deals are about $100 lower than anyone else, and take a look at the reviews by the magazines (links on there website). His induction has the top range power output too and was picked out of 12 choices from the test car's owner. High quality piece. I did my research and have owned C&L for my last Mustang. John also spent time answering my questions and sharing his knowledge. More than I can say for a lot of companies.

Actually, the JLT CAI made the most power:
