Supercharger is schedualed in the next 14-15 months, but if cai+tune is giving me 25+ rwhp, id be willing to sacrifice the $600
thats cool, there's always someone that will buy the CAI later i'm sure.

If you get both the CAI/tune and then the S/C from Brenspeed, you probably won't have to buy the tuner twice, so you won't be out the whole 600 bucks.

If you are going to go supercharger then get the chin spoiler and duck tail. Why waste money like that. If your going to waste it let me get you my address so you can send me the money!!!!! Cause the CAI and tune will not be used when you go F/I!!! And you probably can't use the tuner twice becuase the supercharger companies will have custom tunes for the supercharger already on there. So don't waste your MONEY!!!!

I kinda disagree.....going a year without a CAI/tune is a long time.....you can/will reuse the tuner and if you are getting a shop to do the install and they tune the car, you will need the a tune and most kits can be gotten without a tuner. And many CAIs work with the saleen s/c also

You're sh!tting me, right? LT's without a cai/tune? Oh boy..

Mustang 101 says "CAI/Tune".. There's a reason for that. I PROMISE YOU, we are not all full of ****. It really WILL make your car feel completely different. I didn't believe it at first either, but once I did it, I kicked myself EVERY DAY for not having done it sooner.

If you're going FI, it may not be a COMPLETE waste of money anyway.. Do you know which brand of FI you're looking at? Start thinking long-term. If you don't ever plan on making over 15 PSI (that's a lot for these motors, you'd need a forged rotating assembly at ~10 PSI anyway), then the Saleen blower will work fine. Get a Steeda CAI and XCAL2 from Brenspeed, and then they'll give you a $385 credit towards one of their "stage" kits. It works out nicely. And Brent and team have STELLAR customer service.

As for the price of gas - that SERIOUSLY isn't a deterrant for you, is it? I mean think about it:

10,000 miles per year @ 15 MPG = 667 gallons of gas
667 gallons of 87 octane @ 3.29 = 2194.43
667 gallons of 93 octane @ 3.52 = 2347.84

Dude, that's only $153.41 PER YEAR for ALL that extra power! Not to mention better gas, which is better for the engine anyway.

Pardon me, but DUH!

Why not do suspension so that whenever you do go FI you can plant that power and plus a lowered car is both performance and cosmetic
