looking for some help on chosing an air intake or intake system. while i am thinking about it i know it sounds crazy but has anyone heard about these electric superchargers. i saw them on ebay and was wondering if they might actually improve air flow. i appreciate all the help that everyone gives on this forum!

thanks,
PFC Crain

Please search next time! Electric SCs don't work!

As for intakes JLTs make the most power, but many people will tell you they aren't worth it for the gains you get (8-12 RWHP from the JLT)

it doesnt really matter, they all make the same power roughly, which is not a hell of alot. Just get the cheapest name brand one you can find. I have had bad expierience with the no name brand ones i used to install at the shop i sed to work at!

They don't make bad power. Yeah, HP to $ isn't the best but 8-12 RWHP isn't too shabby on a completely stock 99+ GT

Dont waste your money on something crappy as those. They use alot of electricity to operate. They have been known to drain batteries too. The power gain is not significant. In our hobby we mostly get what we pay for, especially for cheap upgrades. That same money can go to a more reliable updrade.

What exactly is the end goal you want for your car? Before you go wasting money on things that really don't work very well you outto figure out what general area you want to be when your project is done with all of the major mods. Do you want a drag car, street car, track car, all around everything car, is it a Dailly driver or just a weekend getaway car. It's things like these that are going to determone what the best course of action for completeing your ride is. Look at you and your ride down the road a bit and then you will see a path that will take you there. Don't fall for gimmics listen to the boards these guys are beyond knowlegable and know what works and what doesn't because they have seen it work or seen that it doesn't work. Bottom line is when you look at what you want you mustang to do when its almost done, let the guys on this board know what you want to do and we will be more than glad to give you a thousand opinions on what we feel works the best for you with a little bit of special olypics grade aurguing in between. Dont be shy about asking or using the search button. One last thing off topic a bit i see your screen name is usarmyaviation what bird do you work with? I'm a OH-58D (R) Kiowwa guy and its always good to see more army guys running around.

I think 8-12 RWHP is a bit optimistic for a CAI, even for a top of the line one. I could see it on a 03-04 Cobra, just not on a GT, especially a stock one.
