I placed my order for a BULLITT CAI and Tuner SCT X3 with Brenspeed on Tuesday morning. This is the only mod on my '09 GT premium convertible. I paid the extra $49 for expedited service and the package arrived today around noon. I had called Chandler at Brenspeed and asked if there was any way I could get it by Friday and he got it here on Thursday. Now that is some good service. Now for the tune..............
If you are even thinking of a CAI and tuner--------------DO IT!!!!!!
The installation took me about 45 minutes because I really took my time with the directions and followed everything to a tee. The highest octane fuel in this area is 92, so I set the tune for 91 instead of 93. The moment I started the Pony, I knew I had done the right thing. I could feel the increased power just sitting in neutral and revving the engine. I took her out on the highway for about a five mile ride. The difference is astronomical from the stock tune. No more throttle lag at all. It has a lot more power in 4th and 5th gears also for those of you who do not race your cars. This is a completely different car now. I am astounded at the difference this mod makes. Kudos to the Brenspeed guys. I am extremely happy. I do notice the fan running more. I am going out to put the top down and drive.

I just installed the Steeda/SCT3 from AM last weekend.

Noticeable difference in acceleration. No B.S.

I can only speak for the AM tune/intake combo though. Got my stuff pretty quickly (to Hawaii nonetheless).

Aloha!
