Default Ordered JLT CAI and SF3/X3 Tuner

So, after hitting 9k miles in 4 months on my stang. I felt its time to upgrade.

I got the American Muscle forum code and went ahead and ordered their JLT CAI and tuner combo. From what I've read on here and seen on their videos, should be a nice little boost in performance.

--->Linky!!<---

I'm gonna take some pictures and videos of the before, during and after install.

Also, I had someone asking for a video of the Flowmaster 40 series exhaust I had custom installed so I'll try to include that.

Thanks to everyone! I have learned a lot on this site. Also, thanks to American Muscle for having an awesome site, great customer service (I had a lot of questions )

Hopefully should be here by the end of the week.

You're going to love it, especially the 93 race and hybrid tunes. Congrats!

Thanks man! Shipped today and according to UPS will be here Friday!

Bad news, I work nights Friday-Monday, so it might not get installed until Tuesday.

Hell, probably just gonna lose a few hours sleep and install it as soon as possible
I ordered the 87 street, 91 performance and 93 race. Play around and see what I like the most.

Sorry order is messed up... lost sleep to do this. Amazing!

I cannot believe every v6 owner doesn't have this. Feels like a whole new car. Reviews were not kidding.

Everything took about 45mins. Videos are coming, didn't have a camera man to video anything so, I'll remedy that soon.

It was preloaded by bama, I did their questionnaire and it seems spot on. I couldn't be happier with it. By far the best bang for the $$$ I think I could've done right now.

You might be able to extract a few more HP from a custom tune, but you'll pay through the nose. A custom tune is great if you're done modding and the tuner is good at what he does. Bama has tuned 100s of thousands of cars so they have the depth of experience. Plus if you're not done modding all you have to do is contact them for revised tunes free of charge.

I think for now the tuner is fine. A custom tune would be awesome.

Next upgrades will be wheels/tires, springs, 3.73 gears and drive shaft.

I've already got everything I need for the new upgrades... well.. besides the money, parts and time.

For the money 3.73 gears are the biggest performance improvement. The CAI and tunes get you into the upper 13's in the 1/4 but the gears get you into the lower 13's and mid 4 seconds 0-60.
