I have an 08' GT, looking for some input on low cost mods such as airbox, exhaust, etc. I am saying low cost since supercharger would be nice but costly.
Thanks!
Thanks!
So the Ford Racing cold air box comes with the tuner? It states 40HP increase, maybe generous but that is not bad for $800 bucks. Anyone have done this mod yet?
I was thinking nitrous also, since the superchargers are like $5K.
Tuner? Also, the link you gave me, how does that compare to the Ford Racing Air Box? Thanks...
the ford kit that comes with the tuner is ok i guess, it is the same thing that shelby puts on the Shelby GT cars (but charges you ALOT more for it). the ford tuner is a self contained tune from ford and allows 0 user input, I would go with an aftermarket one that allows for more changes. if you have an automatic you can adjust shift points and firmness . you can make changes for tire size and rear gears
personally i would go with an aftermarket tuner and cold air intake.
I'd go with a JLT II Intake + Tuner kit from either Bamachips for little over 500 dollars and you get 30 HP or so and an improvement in driveability (read less throttle lag). That's the best bang for the buck if you ask me.
Does the tuner have any negative effect on the car?
Nope, only you control the desired settings you want. It only has a negative effect if you add to much or little of timing, fuel, etc. If you don't know how to tune your car, have someone else who can do it for you. Or you can just use the custom tune that the tuner has in it already.
So my question is... If you can make your car faster and more fuel efficient... Why doesnt Ford just do that right out of the factory initially?
