nice job, can't go wrong with Steeda. Now you need a tune to go with it.

Thanks guys. It was much easier than I thought. Definite yes on the tune, just waiting for the file so I can load it into the tuner and then the car. The install directions actually say you "MUST" install the tune otherwise you risk a fuel mix that is too lean.

Standing back looking at the engine compartment I'm thinking I now need chrome strut tower caps.

Looks great and I'm sure with the tune it'll perform even better.

Anyone ever do the tuner without a CAI? The CAI's all indicate minimal power increase on their own so I wonder why pay the $400 if the tuner is where the power increase is coming from?

^^ Most people pay more cause it looks nicer! However a 2010 like mine apparently wont gain much cause Ford made a good intake for it, I dont know about the v6 or the gt with the new 5.0 however. Someone else I'm sure can chime in.
