I was considering going with the c&l but from what I understand I will need to remove it (replace with stock) and restore the oem tune when I take it to Ford for service... the car may not run with the origianl tune and C&l. I really want to avoid having to pay to have the cai swapped in and out and therefore I'm looking for one that will work with a factory oem tune... even it means sacrificing some hp. Any suggestions?
A brain damaged monkey could take the CAI off and reflash the computer to stock... you should not have to pay somebody to do this. If you have never worked on a car before, this is a great first thing to try. It's easy. EASY. Get the CAI and tune, it makes the car 1000% more fun.

What is the Difference between SCT Strategy and XCAL 2? I'm thinking of getting the Strategy... rpmoutlet has a desent package that includes the Strategy tuner and S&B CAI. Is there any feature or reason why an xCal 2 would be better. I get the sense that the Predator is not a good choice... can anyone elaborate why.
One last question, if I get the S&B cai and sct stategy will I also need to purchase custom tune to load?
Do NOT get the SCT strategy or S&B CAI from RPM Outlet. Their stuff is NOT Dyno proven, they don't even have a dyno! If you want the most power get the JLT V6 Intake and a SCT Xcal 2 for $525.00 shipped or the C&L V6 Intake and SCT Xcal2 for $565.00 shipped from me (Evolution Performance, Inc.) My tunes are real dyno proven custom tunes, just ask any MustangForums.com member that has my tunes!

Fred I can 100% agree with you on that. Not to mention I ordered the S&B and it came defective. It would not fit in my car lol. So now I am having problems returning it to them. They want to charge me the 14$ shippings, and another 10$ processing fee. I filed a complaint vs them with the BBB and I am working still on it.

What about the tuner by itself and not getting an intake. What does the strategy lack that the x-cal has. I live right next to Jegs and they are open for another 2.5 hours and i was thinking about buying it tonight or maybe even tomorrow if I don't get any responses soon. Any advice would be appreciated! Keep in mind I'm not getting it from RPM Outlet or an intake
