I just got some money for my birthday and i was thinkin of putting in a new cold air intake and underdrive pulleys. Any suggestions on what the best company to go with would be?

StangPro said:What??
We've proven that a drop-in k&N is useless and a CAI can add some decent HP. Where are your numbers?
Steeda pulleys are the only ones to use with the oil pump issues the cars have.
i just did a demolet tunable inductions and noticed a nice gain above 4000 it seems to run alot smoother in the higher rpms and then installed the steeda pulleys a week later and also noticed a slight diffrence more from the intake then the pulleys.StangPro said:What??

For CAI, DeMolet makes the most power and the JLT is very nice as it come be had painted the same as the car. The key is to avoid the metal systems.

I feel okay with the March piggy backs too since they preserve the factory damper. Got okay gains from these too:

(plot shows gains over stock; includes K&N intake...pulleys netted about 4.5 hp & 7.1 ft-lbs themselves)
Steve777 said:maybe I should say "noticeable" gains. They will be very minimal with just the CAI alone. Upgrading the mass air unit is the best way to get the full benefit of the cold air and I don't believe most CAI setups come with a new one

CanadaStang said:When you tested the CAI on the Dyno, did they do a base run, then put on the CAI and do a tune to correct the a/f ?
Or did they do a base run, then a tune and then add the CAI and do another tune to make sure the a/f was the same for the before and after?
trinity_gt said:No, no tune. The car was dyno'd stock. The battery was then disconnected, the factory intake removed & the K&N installed. Battery reconnected, a couple of "miles" on the dyno to ensure all was good and to restore engine temp to about what it was before and the car re-run.
