RE: Steeda's cold air kit for 4.0L is out now!!
hamidlmt - I'm so p'sd . They sent me an Xcal w/ one tune for the CAI, but no CAI. WTF. It took so damn long for the shipment to get here (because they didn't give me any option but ground from FL no less), that they probably can't even prove to themselves that they f'd up, meaning that their stock is off count. Due to time difference I got to wait til tomorrow to try to resolve this.
I guess I will go out and double flash the chip; Stock to CAI back to Stock, then try messing with the ExtremeTune.

Sorry to hear about the trouble green stang. I just ordered my CAI from Steeda over the weekend. I already had Xcal so I had to put the factory program back in so I could ship them the tune and get it set up for the new CAI and also for the exhaust I have on order. I have been talking to Pat and he has been extremely helpful both over the phone and by e'mail. Hope things turn out ok for you. Jim

I asked Steeda about the gains from an 87 octane tune (gas is gettin' spendy ya know!)
Here's their reply:
With an 87 octane tune, gains would be lower. Only on the 11 to 14 horsepower range. Not
the 16-20 of the 91 octane tunes.
That's roughly the same gain as the MMR intake with the high flow tube... MMR told me they're seeing 13 hp without a tune. Of course, the Steeda needs a tune, which will help with other aspects of the car's performance... firming up shift points, etc.

I put one of the Steeda cold air kits on. I could tell an immediate difference. the only issue I had was putting the filter on, it kept slipping off when you tightened down the clamp. I roughed up the smooth ring with a hand file slightly that you tighten the filter on, and it worked perfectly. I was careful to only file away from the edge so I didn't create any cracks where air could escape from. I doubt that would happen at all since you are simply just creating surface scuffing.
