I'm happy w/my Steeda cai, but would change the heat shield in a second if I thought the Bullitt piece would fit.

BULLITT intake #3 installed
I have had my Bullitt intake on the car for over a week (Bamachips tune, 85 octane for now), and can say that this setup is MUCH smoother than my previous cai (mac). I chose this setup because not only is it designed to be much cooler than the stainless MAC shield, but also comes with a new MAF element (I had problems with the oil on the MAF element, and suspect a damaged sensor). With the Mac cai, my car would be very sluggish below 2800 RPM, then take off like a rocket. The Bullitt setup doesn't seem quite as powerful at higher revs, but I am getting to speed as quick, if not quicker! Also, I noticed the hood blanket is a early 07, and doesn't have the "pocket" the late '07-'08 part has, mabye I just need a KR or Trufiber hood for the GT500 nose, and enjoy the ram air. I hope gas prices go down soon, so I can try the 91 octane tune!
I would like to give a big THANK YOU to Kevin Casey, and Doug Stoddard, A+ combo!

Maybe somebody can shoot a pic of their hood blanket that has the proper pocket. I checked mine today and it has a recess in the hood blanket where the stock air box is. I would like to see the difference in the 08.

As you can see, there is a pocket where the air filter resides, however the area in front of the pocket has a large bulge (viewed fron the driver's side). This basically blocks the foreward inlet into the airbox tray. The solution was to simply trim the offending part of the liner with a razor blade. This will work until I can afford a different hood (hopefully with ram air). Hope this helps.

I just learned today that the 2008 Ford Racing part will include be the Bullitt intake with the Ford tune. Ford Racing says that the tune will be released "any day" -- it was supposed to be out by now -- but that it will be the same assembly as in the Bullitt -- so that will be another availability for this one.

I wonder though with the liner is cut back, will it cause it to "catch air" and funnel some of the air over the top of the liner in between the liner and the underside of the hood. I searched for a cost for the hood liner from Ford but couldn't find it. If the Bullitt hood liner is reasonable, then swapping it would be preferable in my book.
