Not to deter you from buying the Ford one but you can get just as good from other mfg's for less and they have very good directions to follow with photos. I have done K&N installs and Airaid and both were easy to install.

i have the kit. about 1 hr from start to finish, including the program download. i got mine from summit racing they'll price match any cheapo price you can find on the 'net. yes, the black cable on the battery will do it and it won't have any adverse effects. the pcm is in the engine compartment on the passenger side near the front. you'll need to remove a couple of bolts to lift it out far enough to see the pcm # that is needed.
Got this baby installed this past weekend and WOW! Talk about one hell of a wake up to the engine There is a huge and very noticeable difference in the "get up and go" in the engine.
Overall, the install was very easy to do, and the increase in performance from the FRPP CAI + Procal Tune is incredible.
My only qualm is that the guys at Ford Racing, when you call them, act like either A) your question is stupid, or B) like you are interrupting them from the video games they are playing . Each time I called to clarify a few points of information, they acted like my phone call was a bother to them. They have two lines open, one for SVT/Shelby customers, and the other for technical assistance.
The guys on the tech assistance line weren't answering, so I talked to a guy on the SVT/Shelby line about the V6. He acted like such a snob because he only deals with SVT's and Shelby's and just doesn't have the time to deal with V6 questions. Ugh, give me a break.
Had I talked to these guys prior to ordering the FRPP CAI, I would have gone with another model like C&L or K&N based on customer service alone.
But ford racing guys aside, it is a great product and I'm very happy with the FRPP CAI + Procal tune.
I'm thinking of getting this kit cause i think its the best looking cia. once you get done with having fun with the new power I'd be interested in if you see any mileage gains with gas prices on the rise again more money in the tank means less for mods

Well, here is the interesting thing about that. A CAI+tune is suppose to increase your gas mileage. But with the FRPP CAI kit, it requires the use of 91+ octane gas. So if I am gaining an extra 2-3 miles to the gallon, whatever I would be saving there I imagine is being equaled out with the higher octane I now need to pay for at the pump. Maybe not, haven't done the math on it so I could be wrong. But it really only adds up to a $3 to $4 increase at the pump each time I fill up, so no biggy.
I work from home. Fill up once every 2 weeks. So the higher octane isn't a negative in my opinion. For the last year I drove my v6 with 87. One day I decided to try out 89, and I noticed a beefier difference in how the car performed. I was shocked at the difference I felt in performance with a simple change to 89, but with factory recommendations to use 87, I stayed with that afterwords. Now with the 92 (don't have 91 octane in my area) + CAI + Procal tune....I'm loving it.
And you're right. The FRPP kit is a really, really, really nice looking piece. I am very happy with this performance mod.
I can't believe they wanted $250 for the install! My local ford dealer has an aftermarket shop thats part of the dealership that does a lot of local work and he said that it was $100/hour shop labor and they could probably do it in 30-45 mins. Good thing you installed it yourself
