Yeah a tuner will bring more out of a CAI. Even if all you have is a CAI you could still get a tuner. AM offers free tunes for life with the SCT SF3 (and some other DiabloSport) so every time you get a new mod you just call them up and get a new tune to include your latest mod. Not to mention even bone stock you can get a tune to run 93 octane, autos can adjust shift points, you can change your rev limiter (I think the V6 stock limits you to 4k in neutral), remove the speed limiter, etc.
 
yeah I wish they carried the 7.5 one also even if it was just gears + tuner would be great lol maybe they will eventually we'll see what kinda sales this month brings! I check it on a regular. I want a tuner but have no need to me without more mods and IDK if i'm going to be doing any more mods anytime soon
 
yeah good point, idk if i buy another one it wont be until like winter time prob this year...but i'm still goin to keep the vert but i'll prob just store it during the winter and crank it once a week or so..idk yet ugh i hate not knowing what to do
 
Lol I feel your pain man. I spent a good month trying to decide if I wanted to sell my sixxer and buy a GT, but I finally decided against it and decided to keep my first Mustang and live it up, even if it's only a V6.
 
yea just what queen said , once you get a tuner u can reuse that tuner when u get more mods put on....therefor you will already have a tuner for everything....and tuner is good money to spend for all sorts of things to do on your car, such as what he said with taking the gov off and whatnot..so it might suck for now if u just have the cai but in the long run you wouldnt have to worry about buying one later
 
sry that is a late post lol.. but with this convo i love my v6 ..if u have the money you can make it fast and a SLEEPER! :D

Ok all day today driving around I kept my hand on the power window button. That damn whistle makes it sound like I have my windows cracked lol. On the other hand they put my picture up on the AM website lol. I should of uploaded the modded picture version lol.
 
Hi let me ask this question.. you said " I am glad I bought the AM one vs the BBK unit" is the AM one really the best sounding one? I never new a CAI can make your car sound louder...
Also is this the highest rated CAI for a V6 (if I am saying it right) the highest I saw was 85mm (whatever that means) does that equate to the highest hp you can get?
 
no what he's saying is for the price the AM one is better because they're pretty cheap right now they have them on sale for like 65$ where as the BBK is over 100$, it doesn't really have any effect on a stock v6. it does cause a whistling noise to come into the car as you accelerate which sounds pretty cool. You're not going to gain enough HP to worry about paying the extra money for the BBK so the AM one is definitely good enough.
