Injen Intakes Installed! Pics, Vids, Dyno

Most of gains are in that last 500 or so RPM of the rev range.

That's not to say it's not worth it, but on it's own the CAI will not give you much. Combine it with exhaust and a tune to take advantage of the extra airflow and then you'll really see gains.

If you are really concerned with peak numbers, the Stillen G3 intakes definitely seem to be the best out there in that regard. You could expect to gain a few more hp with the Stillens than with the Injens.

I agree about the custom intake vs the OEM intake, the OEM is fairly well designed. I have a CBE upgrade and its gains were very impressive. So, I have the sound and some gain, money well spent I believe. I am not a racer, I just love speed when it can be of no threat to anyone else. I think I am done with upgrades. Thanks dude! Oh, if I can ask, why do you no longer have your Z?

As for the Z... I had a lot of fun with it and decided I wanted to give the new 5.0 a try. So far so good.

The 5.0 was definitely fast as hell, just couldn't get over the horrible interior and the fact that I live in Texas means everyone and their mom owns a mustang.

Not trying to bash it, it was a really fun car for the money, just not my thing I guess.
