RE: airaid cai , any thoughts anybody got one ?
i have an airaid and love. I ran it for a little while with just the intake, felt only a little better. Loaded the tune with the restrictor and fell in love all over again. Later, I got the tune for no restrictor and IMO, it kicks ***. Sounds awesome and pulls like a bat out of hell. I haven't hit the track yet so I can't give numbers but with TCS on, and the buttometer on, I still have no trouble spinning the **** out of second gear and keeping up with other stangs.

i have the airaid myself and also ran it without tune for about 2 weeks. it did feel different and better. then i got an 87 performance from bamachips and holy crap, i was happy as can be. i do get on it alot, im 23 and love to go fast, and i still get better mpg than i did stock. im probably getting anywhere from 3-5 mpg more, and i have done my numbers everytime i fill up. i used to get about 50 miles per quarter tank and now i get about 75-80 a quarter tank.

I also have a Airaid CAI . I ran it for about a month untill I could afford a sct3 from Bama. It was a huge differance with just the intake. Then the tune came ,91Race it screams now.IT chirped the tires through the gears and it is an auto.I do not run the tune with the venturi tube removed it is not safe,unless you have a built motor that can handle that much air.

Guys a question for you I just started running Brenspeed tuning with the Airaid they recommended leaving the MVT in I wanted it out but they said that I would actually be losing some low end torque but some of you guys say it kicks butt without the restrictor ??? I think I also will try a Bama race tune (without) to try it out!

Ive only had the tune w/o the retirctor so I dont know for sure. Doug from bama does say the same thing, Ive ran w/o it for months and have had no issue's.

I have it in for well over two years.....No negative issues. Brent sent my SCT back to me after he installed the tunes specific for my mods, and in CAPITAL letters he wrote "Do not run this tune with the MVT in, it will run very rich". He knows his stuff.

I've had the AirAid CAI on my 06 GT for about a year with no tune, and it's been great. The only wrinkle is that the rubber strip around the airbox sometimes separates at the corner, which drives me nuts! I must admit that I am probably going with an SCT 3 and some tunes from Brenspeed in the very near future.
