You sure were aweful hyped about the Harley truck Saturday to not make a 10 minute call.
I'm looking forward to seeing this also!
I'd say pick a CAI that you like the looks of. There isn't enough HP difference between all of them to get upset about. I'm jealous. So like Nick said post up your sob story that won you the custom tune!!
Let us be the judge.

A what???? I must be the 6th winner that already has a SCT tuner. MMMMM maybe I get a secondary prize??? The way my last couple of weeks have been going I'll get to clean up the dyno room after all the other guys get done.

Tom,
What if anything have you ever done for subs in your '92?
I was looking in the trunk and there isn't alot of space in there. However there is that area up under the vert top. I guess its about 4" tall and maybe 8 or 9"deep. Have you ever seen a good dual 8 setup or anything like that, that would leave the large area of the trunk for actual cargo and stuff?

If you read their e-mail they picked a 6th winner cuz one of them (me) already had a SCT Tuner. Meaning that they didn't have to supply a free tuner cuz I already got one.

I received a e-mail from The Fort Wayne Club about a contest for a custom Dyno Tune. Here's is my entry.
Howdy Brenspeed
For many years I dreamed of owning a Mustang but raising 2 Daughters always came first. Well after many years of toil and problem they were schooled, married and living their own life's (abet with a little help from Mom and Dad). So with a little extra cash on hand and the OK from my wife, we brought a 2007 Black Mustang GT/California Special. Man was I proud of this car. It even inspired me to clean out the garage so it wouldn't have to set outside. Then came the discovery of so much stuff on the web that would make the Mustang look better and run better. Well I did go overboard with ordering all the nice things that would go on our Mustang but she is a beauty.
For starters I change out the front and rear Suspension with aftermarket parts. I put some gauges on the a-pillar and also in a center dash pod. I looked on eBay for bargains or lightly used parts. I put bigger tires on and lower it. And man the people who looked at it always give us a thumbs up. We went to a car show to look and decided our Mustang looked as good as most of those cars. So we started to attend and enter some Local Car Shows. After 3 years and 25 Car Shows later we have won 19 awards for our effort (see the in close picture.
About in the middle of the Car Shows I saved enough money to purchase a Saleen SuperCharger. So this was purchase along with one of your e-mail Tunes and installed in my 1 bay garage by myself in 2 days. The funny thing about the install was that no special tool to remove the Alternator pulley was included and nobody around here could help me so I made my own tool. (see picture) by tack welding a 1/2" long socket to the pulley it self. It worked great and I still have it sitting on my work bench.
I found that having a Blower on the engine at Car Shows made alot of people ask "How much Horsepower?". Well I did attend one of your "Dyno Days" and printed out the Dyno sheet (I'm at 430rwhp with a 3.6" pulley). A lot of people question those numbers even with the Dyno sheet, so I would love to be one of your winners to get a "Custom Dyno Tune" to really fine tune the car in. Since the last Dyno I have added shorty Headers, a O/R H-Pipe, and put the stock mufflers back on the to keep it quiet.
All in all I'm having a blast and feel like I'm 21 again when I drive it (I'm 53). In 3 years I got 20,000 miles on it and drive every time I can except no winter driving. I've been to OC Dragway and the Tire Rack's Test Pad. What fun and all I can say is the car is alot better than the Driver.
Thanks for your time and the wonderful service you provide to us car guys and gals.

That would be a good idea, if he was getting one...... 
Shut up foo! (customary Mr. T reference)
I have a pair of 8" MTX subs and Rockford amp from like '98 back there. They are in premade boxes so I can unplug them and get to the spare, etc. if needed.
Blah, blah, blah..........
