Default Need advice on CAI and TB

Hey guys....
I own a 03 Saleen S281 NA.
Was thinking of upgrading to an after market CAI.
Is it smart to go with a CAI on a NA mustang,where exactly will you notice the difference in driving,i allready have some aftermarket exhausts on my saleen,the ones that actually come from SALEEN them selfs,don't know exactly what brand.
Will the CAI make a difference in performance?am i better off spending my money on something else like an after market TB?and if so which one to go with and where exactly will i feel the difference with an after market TB?
I'm kind of lost not knowing what else to do to the engine(except the sc)which will help my performance a little.

Thanx for all your help!
D.

Is not the Saleen supercharged? If so, how are you going to put a cold air pipe on it? Or is it a 4.6 4V? That is another story all together. Look up www.mustangmagic.com for great tips on the 4.6 4V.

Wpix - the saleen can sc or not 2v
notuagn - Look through the site look what people have.
- I have a CAI and it's not that noticable
- I'd go for a plenum / TB setup or Mass air Look here
- Your exhaust is probabally only cat back (I'm not sure) if it is get headers and an x
- Boost or N20 is best power for the money

If you're not blown, get a MAF and pipe from C&L. Then go with the new plenum and a 75mm TB. Accufab or C&L have them.

Don't do cold-air. Not worth it for the gains.[:'(]
