I got the JLT CAI and SCT Xcal II tuner combo Not very happy with the SCT tuner they claim you can data log. Yea when they get the software developed who nows when that will be.[>:]

Would have been nice to know that before I bought it.[:@]
If I had it to do over I would go with Diablo Predator for tuner

I had no problems at all with the airaid setup even with the factory tune. Just DO NOT remove the venturi before you go to a tuner. You're MAF will go bonkers and the car will go into safe mode.

Gprice, I recommend the C&L CAI kit and the Diablosport tuner. Let me know what you decide or if you have any questions, I'd like the oppurtunity to have you as a customer. Looking forward to helping you out.

Have to agree the C&L TrueFlow system is the way to go but strongly recommend you buy the kit with the DiabloSport Predator included. DiabloSport has C&L tunes for 05 GTs on their site but not the 06s and getting DiabloSport customer support on this (C&L does not have the tunes on their site) was a nightmare. If you get the C&L kit and DSP combo kit, the tune is already loaded on the DSP that comes with the combo. There is a great article on FordMuscle.com under their induction section on the C&L kit. It is an easy install if you get the combo kit. Both the instructions on FordMuscle.com and the ones that come in the combo kit are easy to follow. I took my time and installed and, in 60 minutes, had a killer intake system.

I just installed my C&L with XCal2 and tune from www.brenspeed.com. This combo completely kicks a**...I can't stop grinning!!
Took about 45 minutes (15 of that was running around trying to find something to pull the 40A fuse out

Well, on my '06, the DiabloSport website did not have the correct tunes for my calID (I bought my Predator without the loaded tunes). When I called DiabloSport, after being on hold for forever, they said I had to call C&L for the right tunes. So I did, and I spoke with Lee Bender, and he e-mailed the appropriate tune out to me right away. Had it on my Predator withing minutes of the phone call. C&L has excellent customer support, and that's another reason why I've been so pleased with their product. It's nice to know when you have a problem, the President of the company will answer the phone and help you out directly.

So, long story short, if you have trouble getting a tune for your Predator for your C&L intake, just call C&L and they could probably help you out in short order.
