You guys are right, the new throttle body is pointless too.

In terms of which CAI to pick up, just go with the one that looks best under your hood and requires a new tune.

I'd suggest going with one of the CAI/Tune combo kits from American Muscle. Their custom tunes are top of the line, along with their customer service and prices. I have the JLT intake with the SCT tuner and a 93 octane performance tune and I love it.

I'd personally skip the TB, put that $$ elsewhere.

Some smaller Mustang mag from last month tested BBK's TB on an 05-10 V6 and it dyno'd a >10HP and 15 ftlbs TQ.

Yep, injectors are a waste right now. I'd say go 4.10s. I changed my mind at the last possible second as the 3.73s were litterally being pulled off the shelf. SOOO glad I went 4.10s. 2500rpm at 70 for what feels like a V8 under my hood? I actually had to open my hood and show my neighbor that, "YES!", I DO have a V6 under there and not a V8 LOL!

I'd also say get UDPs unless you're gonna go F/I.

Finally, weight reduction helps with EVERYTHING, and by that I mean acceleration, braking, cornering, etc. The 1st 100lbs off these cars is a piece of cake. Do it and you WILL feel the difference

What did you do to drop those first 100 lbs?

It's in his signature with all the weight reduction items you can do.

i would say go for the cai/tuner, the gears a definate mod to go with as well, i plan on going for the 4.10's. And as others have stated i don't think the TB is really useful unless you go FI from what i've read

4.10s should definitely be your next mod. Those along with a T-Lock diff/install kit. You WILL have a grin on your face every day guaranteed!!!

Modding is an addiction. As much as I'd like a dual exhaust on mine, I still have to put in a Shaftmasters 4" DS, BMR K-member and A-arms (these 3 items will drop my weight an additional 50 lbs ). THEN, in will go a dual exhaust LOL This'll also put my car under 3200lbs.

Aftermarket TB's are useless; maybe if you were going FI and/or some serious internal mods.

Stock injectors are fine for staying NA

The CAI can be most any tune-required model. It's the tune that's the bulk of the power adder. Custom tunes from either AM or Brenspeed FTW.

Gears, UDP's, aluminum DS and other weight loss mods...
