Saud alzaabi,
Remember you live it's a bit warmer area of the world and the C&L is a aluminum intake so it holds heat. the thick PVC intake of the JLT II will shield the incoming air. Abu Bhabi avg Daytime Temp 101°F / 38°C Night time Avg 77°F /25°C

Lost in Kiwait, is correct; get theSCT II Tuner from Bama Chips and the JLT II all the way... you will Love it..

I just installed the JLT II with a Dyno tune... Awsome 28hp gain

Do you have more pictures of the engine compartment? I like what you did to clean up the wiring, not so much the yellow wire ties but the rest is fantastic!

All I had was Yellow and Pink, I choose yellow
the rest of the stuff is Spectre Stainless Steel Braided Sleeving Kit with Red/Blue Magna Clamps from Summit Racing, I am slowly installing these because of the price of each hose clamp is around 6-12 bucks. And of course Midwest auto plenum cover and hand polished valve covers and I covered all exposed wires with red wire loom.

i dont mean to sound like a idiot, but im about too. I order my stang not to long ago; and its my first 8cyc usa car. So im not to good w/ what tuners and cai you guys are talking about and that is something i would like to know more about.

so what does sct2, JLT, Xcal, etc stand for it? I'm reading everyone post about cai and tuners and i have no idea what those stand for?? (just trying to get an idea)

any help would be great, thanks...

ps-being a newbie rules!

Don't worry thats what these forums are for, (so that we all sound like idiots) Just Kidding, we are all here to help and learn.

SCT II Xcaliber is a hand held tuner that programs your cars computer, you can change Air fuel ratios, timming, wheel sizes, gears, everything the computer controls you can tweek or get a custom tune from a sponsor here Like Bama Chips or Evolution Performance, Inc.
you can buy a combo intake with a tuner and tunes for 87, 89 and 93 octane gas.
There is another tuner on the market called a DiabloSport Predators. Basicly the same as SCT. Best way to explain is, in the old days tuning was replacing a chip in to PCM, now just plug it in under the dash and have fun.

The CAI is a Cold Air Intake, It replaces the Stock Air Filter and Box, these reduce restrictions in the air entering the motor, giving you more power. Again there are several Intakes on the market, K&N, C&L, JLT, MAC, Steeda Ect...

Edit, (Spelling) I can't :-)

2k05gt, i'm not sure if you read your pm's often so I just copy and pasted this in which I pmed to you.

I plan on ordering the same basic engine bay setup as you along with the midwest plenum cover which will be painted gloss black with the GT in silver along with the ridges in silver. I was curious if you could tell me how many of each magna clamps you needed and the sizes. I plan on going with the stainless steel and not the red/blue clamps. I also will be purchasing the stainless steel sleeving kit.

Thanks, Jeff

Well, Mac sells a straight shot Cold air intake kit. Basically just a filter to replace your stock airbox. THIS DOES NOT WORK WITH THE NEW STANGS. You need to replace the entire inlet tube. Our stock inlet has a seriously restrictive carbon fiber filament in it. Simply putting a cone on it will get you a very small gain if any. It will mostly be for sound. C&L and JLT seem to get the best reviews. K&N is always a good choice too. Just make sure to replace the restrictive inlet tube with an aftermarket tube as well as the filter. Then get a nice tune. I was embarrased when I went to the dyno with some friends and I pulled stock numbers with a cold air cone on my car and others with the stock air box. I'm going with C&L next payday.
