I advise you to either get a JLT or C&L Intake, those are the best out there IMO.

The think is that the C&L is my first choice, but for $85 the BBK is too good of a deal to overlook. I had a big financial burden drop in my lap today though, so I don't know if I'm gonna have $85 any time soon.

A CAI without a custom tune is a total waste of money. Getting the tune now, and then modding the tune later (Bama will do it for free) is a great plan.

BTW, grab that Predator for $200. That is a smokin deal. Per Doug at Bama...there just isnt any difference in regards to us loading custom tunes. A tuner is a pilsner glass or beer mug to get the beer to your belly...how it gets there is not real important...the beer itslef is what matters...that beer is the custom tune.
haha.... love the beer analogy! i'm gonna try and go load some tunes to my belly 2night!

the bbk is plenty adequate.... especially for that price. with a tune, IT WILL perform.

false statement man. i have to completely disagree with you. I've had my bbk CAI with no tune and custom magnaflow exhaust. And i've outrun 4 tuned mustangs with more mods than i have by between .2-.6 seconds in the 1/8th mile.
