I'd consider an intake + tune if you aren't opposed to it. Hard to argue with +30-40 whp.

Ya, I really see no need for a shifter personally

I was thinking about a Steed CAI too. However, I don't think I want to go with a tune "just yet", esp under warranty. So in your guy's opinion, performance mod wise, if I go with the GT500 mufflers and a Steeda CAI, I should NOT need a tune correct?

I saw that, and though I like it, I don't like the fact that the Saleen grille gets rid of the big fogs... those are a trademark of the GT's...

steeda rquires a tune if not mistaken....if you want a CAI that doesnt need a tune looking into BBK, R2C, AFE, and AEM are the ones i know of...the main reason for the tune is to accomadate the larger MAF housing

I did not know that

Thanks for pointing that out.

The problem I have with the other CAI's you mentioned is that they're not true cold air's... if anything, will be warm air under hood again

Maybe I just stick with K&N drop ins or WIX dry filter drop ins.
