i've been through almost every single post on every forum i know trying to find a definitive answer as to what's the best Air intake to bolt on, paired with a tune to add the most power on the rear wheels.

a friend of mine here in Dubai using K&N and a custom predator tune, got 286rwhp.

since then i'm looking for dyno sheets showing baseline and after the air-intake installation and tune, to finally decide which air intake makes more power, irrespective of the cost or the bling factor.

can you put this question to rest, posting facts based on your personal experience and dyno sheets? no fake advertising or speculations please.. i'm pretty lost as it is!

it's also worth mentioning that fuel in Dubai is rated at 95 and 98 RON ( 87 and 90 MON) so unless i'm mistaken about my conversions, the 93 octane tune is not usable without a fuel additive.

 

I'm going to go ahead and say what more than likely the majority will. Most people have gone with C&L or JLT. Me personally I have the K&N which doesn't require a tune but I'll be getting a tune shortly anyways. I think they all pretty much make about the same give or take a few so just get whichever one you think looks best or whatever company you trust most. Also do a search on intakes you'll find plenty of info. Here's a article from an issue of 5.0 Mustang where they compared 11 of the most common S-197 intakes.

I am personally going to go with the jlt. best for the price.

are you really in Dubai? thats awesome probably no. 1 on my "places to go to in my life" list

 

IINM, the octane rating in NA is defined as (R+M)/2, so your fuel choices should be comparable to 91 and 94 octane.

 

LEO_06GT: Great article... much appreciated!

Zig-Zag: i hope you're correct.. 94 octane is

Cheese302: Yup, i've been in Dubai sinec '99. and i think it'e beautiful, albeit a bit too hot
check out the pics from our first Dubai Mustang Club meet!
i'm sure you'd have more reasons to wanna come and visit

 

My recommendation would be to just leave Dubai. Any place else you move will automatically provide you with cooler air. Joking of course. My best friend moved over there 6 months ago to fly for Emirates and seems to love Dubai. Back on topic though I am going with JLT based on Doug at Bamatunes recomendation on what I was looking for.

 

.. is your friend Jim by any chance?

 

yes there are many other reasons than mustangs. Not that i am not a mustang lover, but it just seems to be an amazing area of the world to visit. dont know if i could go for the heat living there though

 

is your friend Jim by any chance?

no he is Joe, but a lot of US pilots are leaving for greener pastures

 

I got JLT and Bama tunes.

 

so based on the link LEO_06GT provided.. and all the feedback here, JLT is indeed the best of the bunch, although the quality may not be a match to the rest, but it's one of the cheapest yet produces the most significant gains..
i'm sold

thanks guys

p.s: now i'm on a similar quest to find the best exhaust system upgrade in terms of performance here

 

I put a western motor sports intake on my car looks awesome and best of all no tune required , I just didnt want to void my warrenty

 

+1 for JLT
