So I am hooked on getting the SF3 Tuner. Custom Tunes with free tunes for life and a company that is willing to help you out is the selling point.

I'm leaning towards the Tunable Inductions CAI, does anyone know how well it will work with the SF3 Tuner? Or should I purchase another one CAI?

I'm sure the AM tech guys will level with you regarding the TI CAI and that they can tune for it.

I have the TI CAI and the tune they sell with their product from UNIQUE TUNING...I have '10 GT convertible running their 91 octane tune....it is pretty effin sweet! and their "tunes" are made for their intake....I had several email exchanges with both TI and UT and each time it was friendly, to the ppint and helpful in making my decision to go with their product and their tunes.

I stand by them and their support is great!

Go with one of the CAI/Tuner packages that we sell. They're going to be the best performing and most consistent options available in regards to intakes.

K&N makes a good quality product, there's no doubt. However, in the Mustang niche, there's a better performing product that flows better, performs better and does the car more justice. It also will leave more room for the future, where the K&N cold air intake would become a restriction very quickly.

I would check out C&L and JLT with Bama custom tunes. They're the nicest intake's on the market that make the most power.

Yes, AM/Bama do make tunes for the DeMolet aka Tunable Inductions CAI. I got the JLT CAI and tuner package and couldn't be happier. The JLT and DeMolet CAI's are very similar, but you'll save $$$ if you go with the AM package deal. I think there was a comparison of C&L, DeMolet, and JLT done by Doug at Bama and he was able to get slightly more gains out of the DeMolet CAI. I don't know how much you'd actually feel the 2-3HP difference though.

2-3 hp means you can plug your phone in and race someone with the other intake and have the same performance
