Did that have anything to do with his question? If you are so against the V6, then why are you reading in the V6 section?

I'd say definitely a CAI w/tuner is probably the best performance mod for the buck

I'd definitely do the turbo, but then again I'm a bit biased.

Supercharging is better than turbocharging, IMO.

Don't listen to DoctorQ ... being the middle child sucks!! Get the big bro (GT500) with real muscle, or stay with the baby, with potential.

Go with a CAI and underdrive pulleys to get about 20 rwhp. See this article for more info...

I think the best way to do it is talk to a guy named TillmanSpeed, he's got the C&L Trueflow intake and SCT XCal2 with 3 custom tunes for $615.99 shipped to the door or the JLT intake with the SCT XCal2 with 3 custom tunes for 539.99 shipped to the door!

RDK - In my opinion you can't just ask "How do I get more power?"

You have to sit down and figure out what direction am I taking this car in and what power level is suitable for that task?

If you are just looking for moderate gains, good suspension and a car that won't see the track, then base your research from there.

On the other hand, if you are going for a beast, then your start looking at forced induction, suspension to compliment that, etc...

So before we can give any advice, you first have to answer that.

Okay, so which CAI is better, the JLT or the C&L?

They C&L is said to get maybe 2-3 more horsepower than the JLT, but the price difference, most people go with the JLT. If you want the extra few horsepower, along with the seal for the hood, the C&L is a little nicer quality-wise. Not to say the JLT is bad quality, because it's very nice as well.

For the money, the JLT only loses 2-3 horsepower for quite a bit less (like $80).

I reccomend the C&L with XCal2 for $615.99 shipped to the door.

You will still get a great quality product and substantial horsepower and torque gains going with the JLT unit.

The JLT CAI with XCal2 is $539.99 shipped to the door.
