Did I gain anything??

strick · April 23rd, 2007, 07:48 PM

I have a 06 gt and I just added airiad intake that doesnt require tune, magnaflow tru x pipe and flowmaster axleback.......have I gained anything or do I need a tune to take advantage??? thx ahead of time....

should've skipped the air raid intake. c&l and jlt are the two that top the charts as far as performance goes. with a tuner you will gain about 30 hp with either of those. the tuner will always help with the mods you have though. i recommend bamachips and get an sct tuner with his 3 tunes.

Yea, I knew the airaid was not the best, but Im not sure about getting a tuner bc I get my car serviced at ford........Im sure they can tell if i use a programer........thats why im wondering if ive gained anything with my current mods???

MustangMatt96GT · April 23rd, 2007, 08:23 PM

When you get it serviced just put the stock tune back on it!!

strick · April 23rd, 2007, 08:31 PM

I kinda figured thats what ppl did, lol

stanglifemike · April 23rd, 2007, 09:01 PM

You should have gained a little, maybe around 10-12 rwhp. Most dealers are ok with mods,I know mine doesnt care.

psycho bob · April 23rd, 2007, 09:32 PM

yeah i don't put my stock tune back in just to get serviced. i would also have to put the stock air box back on to do that.....don't think so. my dealer has been pretty good with anything i have had problems with. i asked before i did any mods and they haven't had issues with anything i did so far.

strick · April 23rd, 2007, 09:52 PM

can I use the airaid intake for now and just tune it............??the way its made u have to remove a tube on the inside for additional airflow....

red devil @ scm · April 24th, 2007, 01:38 AM

go with a predator, it comes pre-loaded with all kinds of performance parts tunes.. and well its a cheaper way! you'll gain the most power if you got it tuned, id say with those mods you'd be running low-mid 13's and @ 314rwhp

contact doug @ bamachips about the airaid and a tune. maybe he can help you. i know he just posted some info about the S&B intake and tuning. S&B states no tuning required. you will be amazed at the differene with a tune

not to jack the thread but you guys will gain 59 rwhp from an x pipe,cat back,
intake and tune?

if my math is correct...

300crank X .15 = 45

that puts you at 255 RWHP

314-255= a gain of 59 rwhp.

roush06 · April 24th, 2007, 11:26 AM

good call HMUSN but i think the calculations came from adding the 14 hp from the mods to the 300hp not the actual rwhp of 255

314 x .15=47

i guess then it would be around 267 after the loss to the rear wheels

give or take...

roush06 · April 24th, 2007, 11:28 AM

nvm he did say rwhp oh well...sh*t happens

From the dyno's i have seen, the stock 2005-07 are around 270RWHP stock, so 314rwhp could be possible.

HMUSN · April 24th, 2007, 12:31 PM

possible ... meh maybe.

but doubtful

fords don't pick up those kind of numbers from exhaust mods.. it isn't a chebby

oh and i want to see a stock GT dyno sheet on that 270hp... that musta been a factory freak

strick · April 24th, 2007, 02:59 PM

I checked out bama chips and I think im gonna scrap the airiad and get one of his package deals, intake and tuner..........gonna have to wait tho just got new rims last week..........LOL........thx for the advice
