Best Performance CAI
I know thats an expensive proposition. And farsighted. But the fact is I love my car. And have no intention of selling it. Or putting in a 4.6L unless something catastrophic happens before I start engine mods/ get the X.
So that leads my to my current predicament of wanting to up the HP of my pony without spending a huge amount of money on something that I'll just throw away later. Ive looked at the X alot, and it looks like they use a no tune required and cheap K&N CAI.

Eyeballing it, I bet I could keep the Ford Racing cai and reuse the rubber air hose, using whatever is the largest MAF meter I have at that point. Obvi ill always need tunes so the SCT will be a good investment anyway I cut it. And underdrive pulley might give me 5 HP, but thats prolly on a good day and little bang for $300.
With a supercharger though you don't want an underdrive pulley. That just means you will spin the blower slower as well since it is part of the belt drive system.
Just out of curiosity why would you supercharge a v6? There is an 8 for that high power kinda stuff and you will get WAY more from it. I understand there is a price difference but that just means you go a few years older.
And there is the unique factor - I get a lot of comments after beating a V8 at the track. Anyone can do a 12 second V8 - but not everyone can do, or beat, a 12 second V6. I've had several people come up after a race and look under the hood and say "no wonder you beat me, you have a supercharger" and then when they realize it is a 6 the next words are "oh crap, I just got my *** handed to me by a 6"
