Back to stock intake and tune!
Well, after almost a year of trying new tunes, datalogging, and trying different things, it was agreed to take my 06 4.0 v6 back to the stock air cleaner. I actually went back to the stock programming also, this is to verify that the problems I was having was either directly related to the CAI or not. I drove it today and my gosh... what a dog! I always thought my car was fun to drive before buying the SCT tuner, but even with the problem, the car was SO responsive. I promised I'd drive it this way for a few days to verify, but OMG... I was at a stoplight and wanted to get around a truck and it seemed like I was dragging something this morning, lol!
if you haven't tuned your Stang I would recommend you try it!

even in its stock tune the car shouldn't be a dog as the CAI and Tune is not going to make that much of a drastic difference. What issues are you having, it may be linked to why you feel it is such a dog now.

Brother... this car runs fine but with tuning has better throttle response than it ever has. The tune makes a BIG difference. Dog might be a bit drastic but there is a BIG difference. I do not remember the CAI doing much more but without the CAI and the tune, wow. I guess you'd have to drive it both ways to feel it.

On our 2006 V6 Mustang we did the CAI, tune, true dual exhaust with X-pipe & 4.11 gears. 1st->2nd & 2nd->3rd shifts would pitch the car sideways. Very impressive below 80mph. It had more off the line pep than my 2013 GT does.
