I have a stock 12 Convertible 3.7and Auto Trans

Will an Airaid Cold Air Intake and SF3 Tuner with a tune that keeps the car on regular add any performance that is noticeable without going to the drag strip to measure ? In other words can you feel in the seat of your pants.

OK, lets just say I am not very bright.
What does SOTP = >30 HP so no. mean?

SOTP = Seat of the Pants

>30 HP = means that the gain needs to be 30 horse power or more.

The entire equation... You need around 30 HP or more to get a Seat of the Pants improvement. So if the mod you're suggesting isn't capable of that then you'll not get what you're wanting out of it.

Our Steeda CAI/Tune has seen improvements of up to 20 HP and 30ft/lbs of torque. You add other elements like an exhaust, etc you can see even greater gains. The Steeda tune is what help get the most ouf the V6 engine. Here is a direct link to the product. It is currently on sale.

http://www.steeda.com/store/v6-mustang-cold-air-intake.html.

PM if you have any questions?

Here is also an unbiased consumer that just put this same CAI on their car and his reponse to it. http://mustangforums.com/forum/3-7l...mate-induction-3-7l-v6-2011-2012-mustang.html

American Muscle put down some pretty impressive numbers with their V6 build, maybe check out their youtube channel and follow some of the mods they installed.
