I like that final grin...I would BET that the K&N gets you 1-2...maybe not though.
Add a GT takeoff (just one is fine, duals are for sound not performance) and you will see several more HP. you cannot open up one end without the other.
Now...you NEED to get a tune. Money better spent would be the combo pack from VMP. Around $450 for a CAI AND a tune! That is a smoking deal. If you can get your money back...do it.
Other than that, just watch the classified here and Ebay and you can pick up a tuner for $200-250. Just be CAREFUL as you have to trust that it is unlocked and the correct version for your Mustang. Do your homework or you will own a nice $250 paperweight.
IMO, I could care less what the HP gain is...torque is what we crave and the 6er puts out plenty. It is the other improvements that transform the car...sharper shifting, way better rev and throttle response...the list goes on. It will feel like a MUCH better car. I personally could not believe the transformation, it was stunning. The power is in the right spots and the shifting is there to match...I could not be happier.
FWIW, I run an S&B CAI and Diablo Predator tuner with a Bama tune.
