New to ford and have question about air induction
#1
Ok, I have had an 440RWHP LS1 camaro and it was pretty simple to work on and to have tuned. I now have a 2005 auto/GT and from what I've read it's a pain due to the on board computer system. I read a post that someone with the same car setup removed the carbon filter(??) and just a drop in filter made some pony power!? I just ordered the Eleanor body kit so my $$$ is tight now, but I was looking for so more ponies out of my GT for now. I was going to locate the carbon filter and add a drop in K&N filter and run 93 fuel will I need my computer retuned? I live in Tampa and their is a speed called Ramsey that has about a 6sec turbo gt so I'm sure they can tune but for now if I run 93 for fuel will I be ok? also i'm not sure where the carbon filter is located, Thanks Dan

Ok, here's my opinion. Removing the carbon trap filter (if your car is even equipped with one - Ford apparently quit installing them in later builds) and adding a K&N type filter in the stock air box, is not going to give you much, if anything.
Save your money up, about $700, and get yourself a cold air intake and tuning device.
I can HIGHLY RECOMMEND the C&L CAI and SCT2 tuning device. I can also HIGHLY RECOMMEND Doug at BamaChips for your SCT2 tunes. He also sells the C&L CAI. The difference will be like night and day. You won't regret it.

I agree with the other guys. Save for a bit and get a C&L or a K&N intake with a SCT xcal 2. I have a K&N and even though it does not require a tune I got the SCT. With either intake and the SCT you will get gains in the 20 HP range, at least.
