Granatelli VS Brenspeed and a Tune?
I have the Granatelli CAI on my stang and was thinking of putting it on the wifes stang and ordering a C&L w/ a Brenspeed Tune for mine. Does anyone know if there would be a big difference on my stang with the C&L and the tune vs the Granatelli w/o a tune?
Thanks for the help...

RE: Granatelli VS Brenspeed and a Tune?
I have the GMS CAI, and last week put teh Brenspped tune in. The power is not much of a difference. But what you do get is a smoother acceleration and not so much of a throttle lag. Basically better response. I kept the GMS CAI on it and took the GMS MAF out and took off the tune chip off, and installed the stock MAF into the GMS CAI. I haven't tested the 91 octane tune yet, as tehre is still some 87 in my tank. Next fill up I will download the 91 tune.

RE: Granatelli VS Brenspeed and a Tune?
I also have the GMS CAI and am running a Brenspeed tune. My car is an auto, and in my mind the tune is more important than the CAI, atleast for those of us with autos...
For me:
Stock to GMS CAI = A little improvement in power/noticeable difference in sound.
GMS CAI + Brenspeed Tune = NOTICIBLE improvement in throttle response, power and shift pattern.
I would almost say just keep the GMS CAI on your car and buy two xcal2's instead. One for your car (w/GMS CAI), and one for hers (w/stock airbox).

Where can you get a tune for the GMS CAI? - Brenspeed? If so, can you just install the tune to the GMS as is or do you need to replace the MAF with stock?
