The CAI is just the Steeda CAI and the tune is quite conservative. Many people choose to get a tune/cai combo from brenspeed, B ama, vmp, or evo. Cheaper and much better tunes

RE: FRPP
I am very happy with all the parts I have on my sig. They have all been great quality and the respective people/companies I got them from were great as well. You will be extremely happy with the gains. Though I dont have actual figures, the seat of my pants dont lie, usually.
I am glad that the chrome valve covers gave you 20 hp at the crank, because I thought I was losing my mind when my front end gave me 27 hp at the crank.

True, but those folks all have the added aggravation of putting eveything back to stock whenever they need to take it to the dealer for warranty work, and then changing it all back again when they leave the dealer!
I might have slightly less h.p. gain for a bit more $$, but at least I sleep like a baby at night secure in the knowledge that my 3 year warranty remains fully intact......
P.S. I'm actually thinking about getting the Whipple in about 15 months, but will also have it installed by Ford Racing because it will then come with a 12 month warranty (since my car will then be only 2 years old and will still qualify for the program).

That was my only reason for choosing FRPP too- but it's a helluva good reason as far as I'm concerned...!
I figure after 3 years then it won't matter anymore (most probably will get a custom dyno tune which is better than Brenspeed or B a m a), but I see no reason to ruin the warranty on my brand new car just for the instant gratifiction of a few extra h.p. right..now...
Patience grasshopper- patience...........
