The CAI's areall equivalent in performance so pick based on lokks and cost. The better of the vendors that write the tunes are all pretty good with some being better at auto's vs. manuals; Brenspeed, VMP, Bama, Evolution...

Simply put, go with one of the popular CAI's (C&L, JLT, Steeda, etc., from the vendor's websites listed above) and find a good deal. You might even be able to get a break if you call and let them know you're shopping around (but I kinda doubt it).

If you type CAI or tune in the search field you'll get everyones different opinions on which ones are the best. Then you can decide which stang lover you want to listen to and then go that way. I went with an AEM CAI, they mostly make after market parts for rice burners but I get just as good of number then the rest of the "big name" CAIs. I figured that they make great parts for civics and other imports, they must make a good intake for mustangs. Working with brenspeed is a good way to go, great costumer service and if you decide to go with a CAI that they don't sell cause you want to save some money then you can get the tuner from them after words and tell them your mods and they will send you the tuner with your custom tunes already installed. I'm really happy with what I have.
