Long Tubes are definitely one of the things I see myself installing. I think it makes good sense to invest in the bigger MAF now so it's a one-time buy. I want to keep the car NA with the addition of most popular bolt ons. So looks like C&L racer might be the way to go

Funny, nobody uses the Diablo Sport Predator tuner here? Great product, use it on my Challenger and the dealer can't detect its use, as long as you restore the stock tune first.

I just had the FRPP performance package installed (CAI, mufflers, calibration) (also have FRPP 4.10s and short shifter). Have never driven a GT with one of the other tunes but can say the Ford Racing is great. Much better throttle response, power, higher redline, nice dashpot, feels like a totally different car. If I power shift it leaves at least ten feet of rubber on the street on 1-2 upshift and solid chirp on 2-3.

JLTII or GTFO!

All the major brands have a large conical filter popped on the end. It wont make any difference really, and JLT was $75 cheaper when I bought my intake from Brenspeed.

Same thing really as an Xcal, just not supported by some tuners.

Nice, but had you researched this topic on the forum you'd find that the FRPP tune adds about 15 crank HP (which is why the '10 GT is rated 15 crank HP more than the 05-09's) which equates to ~13 RWHP. A CAI & tune combo from Brenspeed, Bama and others net roughly 20-25 RWHP.

I saw a lot of info on HP numbers but not much on 1/4 mile ETs. Decided to stick with Ford stuff.

Um, I wouldn't use that "new higher redline" that often.

Hahahahaha
