Im putting the bbk shorties on this weekend. My automotive apprentiship teacher swears by the bbk headers because of the 3/8 flanges.

Okay, I've read the whole thread....really. So I recently bought an 06GT. I am looking for a little bit more power but I bought a warranty with my new/used car and the dealership said if I did much of anything beyond a CAI they wouldn't cover it. So, it seems that the K&N is the only intake promising more horsepower without needing a reprogramming. Is this true? I read a couple post from K&N owners who said it tripped their dash light. True? What about a Ford Racing intake??
So it looks like CAI, maybe Eibach springs, and exterior cosmetic changes.

Question
Just a quick question, Would it make sense to get a CAI and a dyno tune? I mean do you have to be FI just to get a dyno tune or are they worth it on a stock car. It seems that a dyno would be better than a handheld tuner. Thanks for the help

I did a couple of mods like the K&N Cold Air Intake, Magnaflow Cat-Back System and Underdrive Pulleys

Basic UpGrades.
Put in a K&N filter; a throttle spacer; a set of hushpower pro series shortie mufflers(axle back) and a Hypertech tune for premium gas; firm shifting and set the shift points to +300 on all shifts with the rev limiter at +500 on all shifts so that the rev limiter stays out of the way.
Next is 3.73 Gears.
I think I am done after the gears but am still wanting MSD coil on plugs; anybody know if MSD cops are a soild upgrade for the long term?
Never got a base line dyno but would I got atleast 13HP for the tune but maybe more like 20HP because I go past redline with the tune and the hypertech chart says 19HP at 6700RPM and mine goes to 6800RPM now; 5HP for the K&N; 5HP for the spacer and say 7HP for the axle back. So in real world results that is about 36RWHP.
C-YA!

Put in a K&N filter there are better choices; a throttle spacer truly a total piece of garbage unless you need a paperweight; a set of hushpower pro series shortie mufflers(axle back) no, zero, nada RWHP gain with any axleback and a Hypertech tune considering nobody has mentioned this tune in the almost 4 years I've been here I have to wonder if it's any good for premium gas; firm shifting and set the shift points to +300 on all shifts with the rev limiter at +500 on all shifts so that the rev limiter stays out of the way.

So in real world results that is about 36RWHP you're on drugs.
