as stock as your car is i dont think it would really make that much of a difference. i had a C&L on my 05 GT auto and it was fine...i have a JLT on my 08 manual and i like them both.

... What can I expect with the new CAI & Tuner?

A decent amount relatively speaking. Probably close to 25 HP, maybe more. Most of that power will be in the tuning for 93 octane though. Before I put my JLT on I used the livewire and the canned 93 tune on the stock airbox and defiantly felt a nice SOTP difference. Funny thing was when I put on the JLT (tuned for the JLT and 93 octane of course), I couldn't really tell a difference other than it was louder...lol. As more boltons go on probably the more difference the JLT will make. But at near stock power levels the stock airbox isn't really restrictive.

I had a JLT I loved it. I forget what magazine did a test with all the intakes and 93 octane tune from a dyno shop. The JLT did like 19.5hp and the C&L made like 20.2hp. I like the looks of the JLT a little better you can also get it colored for your car also. So really the power isnt' going to be different it would just come on price and look. Which I think the JLT has it beat.

+1 for the JLT..20 hp/tq is a very realistic number for gains and the difference in the way the tranny shifts after the tune is night and day!

If you want the car to run right a tuner is a must. Both are nice kits but like mentioned earlier the JLT comes colored for an additional $10 or $15 bucks which is a cool option =)

Can't go wrong with either of them. They are both quality products that produce the exact same results. The only things that come into play are the looks, and if you plan on possibly going to a Saleen supercharger at a later time the C&L 95mm would make more sense.

JLT fits just fine and flows better (looks wise) with a saleen supercharger. I have it.

the C&L would look out of place with the blk saleen supercharger

i had c&L before but changed to jlt because i wanted color matched

 

[Stinkyone]

Will the C&L fit with the Saleen S/C?

 

[LAK3RS]

Will the C&L fit with the Saleen S/C?

Yes. The majority of the time you'll see the C&L 95mm, Saleen Extreme, or Saleen Ultimate intakes used on Saleen set ups.

I have the Saleen blower with a JLT. Had to heat it up, stand on one end to make it oval shape. Looks kind of shitty. I'm thinking a C&L with a different silicone (a little longer) at the throttle body may work.

Go JLT with the tuner. I got it on my stang and love it.

since your getting the cai, you might as well buy a throttle body as well since youll have the airbox off while installing. youll really notice a differance than!
