Default real cheap intake and tune, is that good?

Hi, I just got an 07 Mustang and i am looking to put on all the bolt-ons. I was really interested in alot of those packages they have out there. Well on some of the vendors advertised on this website i see CAI and tune for about 680$. But i also found at rpmoutlet.com that you can get 3 pullies, C&L CAI, and SCT Tuner for 600, and they are saying up to 44rwhp. Is motoblue a good set of pullies, and should i worry about anything with buying the cheaper set?

Also, why is it better to go with a 95mm maf as opposed to an 85 mm. Does it make a difference. Thanks alot

I am open to all new opinions and ideas, thanks.

I have heard a lot of Horror stories from people concerning RPMoutlet.com. I try and stay clear of them but damn that is a great deal!
As far as I know, most of the U/D pullies are the same, just made with different companies boxes. Do you mean a bigger inlet elbow? A bigger inlet elbow wont do much for a mostly stock engine, but when you end up slapping CAMS, heads, etc, it helps get a few more ponies because it has more air readily available for the engine. 44 RWHP is a stretch though, CAI+ Tune is worth about ~25 RWHP, and U/D pullies are good for about 10 RWHP. I would guess around 30-35 RWHP from the whole thing.

I've purchased a few things from them and they have pretty fast shipping and decent customer service. There have been a few problem with returns but that has been on used items that have been put on the vehicle.

I think you should be fine placing a order through them.
