If there is one post to remember in this thread, that's the one... :D

ok, i recently read in a mm&ff magazine about installing a 80mm c&l mass air meter on a 2001 mustang gt with automatic transmission. this car was completely stock except for 15 degrees of timing and underdrive pullies. after installation, there was a gain of 7.6 horsepower and 2ft.-lbs. of torque. i recently ordered the pro-m 80mm mass-air meter from ebay. it does not have an intake tube, it consists of a high-flow filter connected to the throttle body. does anyone know what the performance difference would be with the pro-m?

Man, I love this thread. Soo entertaining. CAI discussion always get people excited.

I have the Steeda, and I must say my SOP really felt it big time. Course, that's where my wallet is. (ha ha)

I have seen dynos where CAI's showed big improvement...especially in blown cobras. I fail to see how they would slow down a car as some also say they do.

Here is my thought. CAI's will make you run more lean. I think this is where some of the added power can come from or be lost depending on where your a/f ends up.

I would love to take mine out and run the stock intake on the dyno...a little side by side comparison. I will say though that when I pull my headlight with the Steeda, it really helps.

I have heard that the MAF is tuned for the length of the inlet tube between it and the filter. Wonder if this could be the reason that some people see a loss when adding a cold air kit. I've been considering the full length Densecharger kit that includes a new mass air meter that is supposedly calibrated to work with it.
