im not really talking about it being cheap but i want a quality for pretty good price ive had bbk but thinking about going with jlt this time do you know which cai gives best gains?

Dont buy a steel CAI like BBK or MAC, they are cheap and the steel holds heat. Go with C&L, JLT or K&N. They may cost you a little more but they are better than the cheaper ones because they use aluminum or hard plastic material that doesnt get hot like steel.. I would look in eBay. Buy from someone out of state and there is no tax and shipping is free or really low sometime.

i would go with jlt and get it to match your bullitt's car color.

[FordGT08]

good idea thats what im going with...whats your opinions on short throw shifters and lowering springs

i cant find the ram just fender one

if your looking to get all the 2 rwhp that a cold air can offer.. get a plstic one or your money is wasted. JLTs look good, and so do the roush and K&N.. they all give about the same gain.

if your looking for a TRUE CAI and not a ram air i would get nothing but JLT. theres are proven to give the most gain.

If you want a paint-matched JLT RAI (like i have), order direct from JLT. Tucker has excellent customer service and good prices. I ordered both of my paint-matched RAI's straight from him.

The gains from a cold air aren't extravagant, but JLT has the best proven gains. Bullitts see a slightly better gain than the average GT.

If you refer back to that huge paragraph I typed in your other thread, you'll see where I mentioned some good ideas on questions you're asking in this thread.


For a shifter I'd recommend MGW, Hurst, or Pro 5.0. If you want a quality drop spring, again, I'd go with H&R. I recently put on H&R Race springs, and if you look at the most recent pics I posted, you'll see how the car wll look after they're installed. There's also a Sport and Super Sport spring that they offer, and they lower the car even more.

[Graves]

That's what I was going to suggest. Sports are low, but Super Sports are slammed. If it's your daily, I'd go with Sports.

ok cool i only see super sports though on american muscle im trying to order everything right now

If you get polyurethane spring isolators to replace the factory crap, it'll add about 1/4" to the height at all 4 corners. That could be an option.
I've also had experience with Steeda Sport Springs. I had them on my 03 GT with 17' DD bullitts with the tire combo I mentioned in the other thread. It had a nice stance to it. Not too low, but looked good and handled great.

when buying springs is the application different than the gts?cause none on american muscle say bullit

[Graves]

Nope. Regular "Mustang V8 Coupe" springs will work.

[FordGT08]

so what do you think steeda or handR??on the hand r ones i dont see sport spring just race spring other than the super sport
