Sorry guys but I gotta play devils advocate on this extremely popular topic! You see I've got a buddy whos got the same mustang gt as me but his is a year newer, and hes got the CAI/Cold air combo and I dunno If its worth it when he's only about 2 tenths of a second quicker than me at the quarter mile. If it were about half that price I think I would be more likely to consider it, but for over $600, I personally cant justify it,. Not to mention those results are when you have enough room to speed up to a little over 100 mph, throughout my course of driving getting up to 100 is far and few. I have the pypes h pipe and slps for those of you wondering...

Shelby GT500$47500 (National Average)
The best stock runs I know of.
Mustang GT = 13.2
Shelby GT500 = 12.4
So $22500/8 = $2812.5 per 1/10
...and your complaining about $300 a tenth?
The cars vary a good bit in what they get from aTune + CAI.
Ive seen anywhere from 0.2 - 0.5 on same day tests.

I feel your pain. I had trouble waiting the week and a half it took to get the stuff from Brenspeed. And then I had to wait most of a week to have the time to install it.
I think I remember seeing a posting from you about your problem before, but I don't remember the details of what happened. The guys at Brenspeed seemed very helpful. Have you tried calling them? They claim that they can get you going again even if Ford has reflashed your computer without telling you, which is one thing that I know can cause you a problem.
At any rate, sorry you're having trouble. I understand that B A M A is great stuff, too.

Yes I hear their customer service is great, I'd love to call them but by the time I figured out it didnt work it was 730 friday night and they were closed, lol thats my luck its been a very long weekend so far, i've never looked foreward to monday like I am right now. The problem was with the tuner when I tried to load it I got a "powerup msg. timeout" and then it just goes back to the main menu, i'll just have to wait till monday i guess to find out, hope I dont have to send the tuner all the way back to Indiana i think is where they're located I'm in CA.

If you want to save some money and gain better driveability and more power, you could skip the CAI. The majority of the "wow factor" comes from the tune, not the CAI. You could pick up a used xcal2 and purchase a 93 octane tune from Brenspeed for a total $250-275 and just run you stock air box. You would still notice a big difference.

Congrats on the tune, yes they do make these cars more fun.....lol
@drew47 with a bunch of zeros' it isn't the .2 in the 1/4 its the overall drivability and fun of the car, Besides under the hood looks better too.
