I am debating between these two CAI options. Please give any advice at all!

Do your research, but I really like the Steeda CAI. There is a lot of information at Steeda about it. But, that being said, make sure you get a quality tune which ever CAI you decide on.

Since Steeda works very closely with Ford on their designs, my choice would be a Steeda.

Thanks, the more I think about it, I am leaning towards Steeda. I just did not know if anyone has any experience with JLT.

Steeda works closely with Ford for their engine stuff? Hmmm, seeing how I have family who work in the Ford development program, Cobra jet, Roush and FRPP I have yet to hear that's the case. Being from Livonia MI and growing up around the block from the Ford Test track and roush I've never seen a Steeda car. Weird.

Yes we do work closely with Ford. The attached picture was taken at Ford Motor Company, months before the 5.0L ever hit the streets. We flew an engineer up to Dearborn and were allowed access to pre-production cars for fitment of components that we had in the engineering stages. This would not have been possible if we didn't have a good relationship with Ford.
