Haha, well you said yourself you didnt notice any power gains or anything. just whistling. Why would I wanna buy that if it doesnt even really help out in gains. my goal is to go all motor, get full exhaust, underdrive pulleys, intake, intake spacer, a TB that gives me a gain, whether its bigger or the stock one is just ported, and then get gears and a tune. hoping for as much power as a stock cobra going that route, maybe a little less.

NO UNDERDRIVE PULLIES!!! You will kill your oil pump! I did American Racing LT headers and a catted x pipe, excelent products but I have an exhaust leak and it drives me crazy!!! It must be leaking at the flanges. Anyways, I felt a slight gain after those... Cost me a total of $2400 to do them and the only thing that worked out right is the sound. Love it, but because of the exhaust leak, I wouldnt do headers again. I was just wonderring if you wanted to buy it because I am thinking about taking it off to see if the whistle goes away. Its the smallest-larger TB you can get for the Mach's. Dont buy a JLT, fit is horrible! just get the C&L intake tube and a K&N filter lol. I wasted 200 bucks...

Why no underdrive pullies? explain how it kills your oil pump. i dont know much about pullies, except for its a quick bolt on for 10 hp. also on american muscle.com, the C&L intake is 360 bucks. the JLT intake is 160 bucks and says to expect 12whp and 17wtq. the C&L just says maximizes air flow for power gains. plus the reviews on american muscle said that JLT fit fine. well my plans for the car are to do full bolt ons and a tune. no forced induction. what would you recommend for bolt ons besides exhaust, since you said the TB doesnt realy help and not to get pullies. what would you recommend to give you power with forced induction?

Yeah I also read the review on the JLT before I bought it and some guy said it took him 20 minutes to do it. Haha... yeah right. Not one part of that kit fits right. I have the fender mount(CAI) set up though. And let me tell you from experience, I felt no gain at all going from a drop in K&N filter to this JLT. The under drive pullies slow down your oil pump and for some reason it kills them on the Machs. Ask anybody, they will tell you the same thing. I must have been looking at a different C&L setup lol, I thought I saw one that just had the intake tube for like 150 or something??? Never mind. Can you re-word you FI question lol, I dont understand it? At the end of the day, I have installed: ARH LT headers + catted x pipe($1350), Install hardware and install labor($760), SCT tuner($360), Accufab twin 60mm TB($360), JLT CAI($220) and then my wheels and Nitto 555 tires 245front/285rear(about $1200) and can hardly feel a difference between when I bought it(weld in flowmasters and drop-in K&N) and now with all this stuff on it. If I did this all over again I would do: 4.10 gears, Offroad midpipe, Borla cat-back, short throw shifter, H&R springs, My wheel and tire setup and be done. rygi23 has only an intake,midpipe,catback,tuner,4.10,DRs and has run a best of: et 12.37 @ mph 111. I think I would be lucky to run a 12.9-13.1. Heres a link to my exhaust setup if you are curious about headers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKv8EDWP9C4
