Air intake

[RockysMom]

Just remember that with the new Mustangs, a computer reprogram is needed when eliminating the stock air box and going with an aftermarker cold air intake.

Just for future reference, is that something easily done or will I have to take it to a specialist to have it done? Or would the guys putting it on know what they are doing to reprogram the computer?

99% of the time people will just buy a handheld tuner, such as a SCT Xcal or Diablosport Predator. This will allow you to do it yourself.

yea, i did not think of that, but there is a good point. i personally took mine in and had it tuned, but then again, i had a 2.8 pulley that they had to tune for.

Your's is different than the 05 and up Mustangs. Just adding a Cold Air Kit requires a reprogram of the PCM on the 05 and up.

Just a CAI will make the car run really lean from what I recall.

NA cars with a personal tune will wake it up...SOTP feel for sure.

I don't know that it would do anything to save fuel. If that's all you want, just use a drop-in K&N, use Mobil 1 fully synthetic oil and air your tires up to the max.

Sux about the re-tune on the new cars... never heard of that before.
