Default 09 GT CAI & Tuner

Why yes its the age old question here in this forum, CAI! What do u suggest as far as a CAI tuner combo. Right now I am looking at Steeda CAI with SCT SF3 Custom Tuner from what Ive seen at other threads the tuner is solid and Ive seen some good reviews from various sources on this CAI. Heres the link that Im looking at on AM wanna add some HP to my new GT. I also like the Carbon Fiber look, using graduation gift $$$ so why not make it look hot?

What do you think? What do you suggest? Any first hand accounts with this kit? Also would this be too soon from my new car has alil over 500 miles on it (still a virgin) Also whats a ballpark HP gain I should expect going onto the pavement? Thanks!

I would go with the C&L and X3 from Tillmans. Ask for Chris when you call them

The Steeda is one of the better CAIs, especially if you get the plastic elbow.

Thats a very nice setup. All it need is one of Chris's tunes and your there. He can get that combo if you want.

If you want to call PM me and we'll chat.

Ah thanks for the input guys! Im liking the steeda just gonna get the non carbon fiber and save 100 bucks. Use it one some paint for my louvers. And Travelers U should be getting paid for all the Tillmans Advertising u do =) Dont know much about the different tuners but from what ive read up the SCT SF3 is pretty good. They say 35-40 hp gain which is alot... yes i know thats not on the wheels but still. U can only go so fast on the roads... well i guess im a hypocrite for saying that considering how I drive when in my "happy mood"

Thanks Steveng93 I miss the 6'er got the same color and blacked out on the new GT this is what exhaust i just bought for my GT (same old style brand new attitude) Its pretty damn aggressive, makes ricers cry
