Ok guys.

I have a 2008 GT.... stock.

But I have just ordered a suspension upgrade:

Eibach pro kit
Eibach camber bolts'
ford gt500 strut mount kit

Roush cold air intake
Basanni axle back exhaust

thinking of catted H pipe

and a future supercharger.

Do you thin it is worth getting a tune?

Oh yea, and the Basanni will sound great!

Unless the Roush CAI is a total POS you have to have a tune to run it. Your car will go lean. So call Brenspeed or AM and get a tune. Its really wakes up the car and if your an auto, OMG what a difference it makes. My car ran a half second faster at the track with a CAI and tune from Brenspeed.

I have an Airaid CAI, which is the same company that makes the Roush CAI. My Airaid does not require a tune, however the performance gain is minimal. I have a Brenspeed Custom tune along with my Airaid.
Does your Roush CAI require a tune or no?
I would highly recommend getting a custom tune to fully utilize the CAI's capabilities.
The custom tune will really wake up your 4.6 engine!!! 25 - 30 HP!!!!
I say, go for it!

I ran my intake without a tune, and the car wouldnt run properly. Even if it did, I would recommend getting a tune due to the fact of how big a difference it makes. Also, ive ran the Bama and Breenpeed tune and the Bama worked a little better for me. Both excellent though.

That setup should should pretty good too!

I wouldn't run a Cai without a tune. Contact Brenspeed or americanmuacle

What they all said; a stand-alone CAI is worthless without a tune on these engines. And not all tunes are created equal so choose wisely. But your question is like asking if you should improve your car at 1% the cost of what you spent FOR the car. The answer is obvious.

Yep. Go ahead and order that supercharger kit from Brenspeed now, itll include a tuner loaded with a nice custom tune.

Thanks for all the input guys. it makes it seem like a no brainier.

I have not installed the intake yet, arrives tomorrow via UPS.

I just installed the axle backs, love the sound!

Suspension is going on this weekend.

I guess I will get me a tune soon and install the intake along with the tune

kevinmalec

Awesome!

If the Roush CAI does NOT require a tune, go ahead and install the CAI. Once the tuner arrives, you will be all set and ready to install the custom tunes!
This is what I did with my Airaid CAI. I did not experience receiving any codes or experience any issues w/ my stand alone CAI.
Even without a custom tune, you may feel a little performance gain (at higher RPM range) and you may hear a growling sound coming from the CAI. Enjoy!
