If you already have a C&L CAI & tune, then the other is of no benefit.

Now that we know you have the CAI, the LT's sound good to me... Otherwise, it's a bunch of "5 RWHP here, 5 RWHP there" mods. Personally, I think you can get more for your money with the small mods compared to the LT's...

I actually think I'm going with the new C&L intake manifold.

Best bang for the buck after the CAI/tune I think.

17 rwhp/20 rwtq and $750 from what I read.

That's the same gains from LT's and $650 cheaper than what I was quoted.

I share the same opinion as most, save for the s/c. However, if the $$$ must go, I would do LCA's, UCA, relo brackets, Panhard, shocks, & sub-frames.

I am about to do the above to my car.

Good luck!

Dude i am in the SAME boat as you except i do not have gears. I doo have an offroad H that cost about 150$ and sound bad *** and picked up 6-7 rwhp? I got 4.10's in my house and decided not to put on and save for F/I. That way i will not regret throwing money around when i know what my ultimate goal is.

Seems redundant if your going to replace it with a s/c down the road...
