I say FAIL. Why waste your time with advertised 10 RWHP when a CAI & tune is proven for 15-20 RWHP on the 4.0?

I mean that intake will give extra 17-20HP and programmer 10HP, so in total it will be up to 30HP on the 4.0

Too funny! I'll have what you're smokin'.

Are you believing what is advertised? Double FAIL. A stand-alone CAI won't make more than about 5 RWHP on the 4.0. The best a CAI & tune can make is about 25 RWHP and that's with a rather aggressive, almost dangerous tune. Even a stand-alone typical custom tune will net you about 12-15 RWHP. Toss the CAI in WITH the tune for more additional power than what the CAI will make.

Just curious, what can you say about this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6WjqZT_8fE
Is it lies?

diff motor dude and thats a cai w a tune, nuke and the op said for the 4.0 not the 3.7
so the vid is irrelevant. please take some of us with a grain of salt. members like nuke and alot of the nice folks on here have "been around the block" so to say with these cars. sure they may not be righ 100% of the time but most of the time their argument has truthful facts.

The 3.7 produces a lot more stock hp than the 4.0, so the claim of +22hp seems reasonable. It even says on the initial video "2011 mustang 3.7L v6"; you've got to pay some more attention to your research, dude.

Additional features of this device: enhanced shift points & firmness, eliminate speed limiter, recalibrate speedometer for larger tire sizes, adjust RPM limiter.
My friend got this few months ago & I can say that he more than happy with it.
Also he installed Airaid CAD Air Intake System. Result is incredible, intake added 17HP and +10 torque.
removing speed limiter is kinda stupid on a mostly stock sixxer, the drive shaft is rated at 115, with no limiter your going to try it out and destroy your car, not saying its a 100% chance you will break your DS just not safe at all.

I heard the same rumors about issues with the early 05-06 s197's with this being a problem, Where is this written that its only rated for 115 mph? I know the stock tires are speed rated for 115 mph. can you post a link where you got your info from please.
