The car is no longer at our Pompano Beach facility, it is in Georgia where it will go more R&D and track testing.
We are in the process of attempting to find another car we can do a 5th gear baseline on instead of 4th gear, along with 93 octane instead of the as delivered 87 octane with the stock airbox, then with cold air and 93 octane. We have another car on order ourselves for the company but that car is weeks away.
As I've stated in other threads Ford's has published there is an approx 10hp difference between 87 and 91 octane on these cars. So I do fully expect the before and after gains if this test takes place to be less than starting from an 87 octane baseline. I would guess a minimum of 12hp when talking about 93 octane vs 91
I am still betting we will see close to 40hp over stock at points in the upper RPM range even starting with 93 octane. If we can get this done we will, just dont bug me about it every day
lol

Glad to see the air porting. It may just be me but under the hood seems to hold alot more heat than my 08 did.
ETA: I think a new vented hood would do wonders on it.

That CAI unit itself is a nice piece, I'm 100% satisfied with it in my 2010. The fit and finish is superb. Those that are looking into one for their 2011 5.0 can't go wrong with Steeda! Install was a breeze with it as well...

I have a car
Yes, and in 4th gear instead of 5th gear on a car with no miles in horribly hot weather so that is why the baseline and tuned numbers are lower than what other people are seeing. I've covered this extensively in other threads.

The baseline numbers are WAY too low.
Of course this was done to artifically increase the gains.
So much for 100% honest or even close to 20% honest advertising.
I guess if you wanted to post real numbers nobody would buy your ****.

Yeah, wait until someone proves me wrong then.
I would bet a years pay that CAI ALONE adds maybe 12-15hp MAX
edit:
I will go as far as to say this:
Tune the car with the Steeda and dyno it. Pull off the Steeda and put a C&L on there and dyno it again.
I bet there is ZERO difference in the HP between the two pulls.
This with a tune crap is just that...CRAP
The C&L says they can get 10-14 HP, but at least they tell the truth so I can decide if 10-14hp is worth $380.00 AND I can get whatever tune I want, because I will guarantee Steeda doesn't have the best tune out there.

I will post my results.
I already have a tune, will re-baseline (not change the tune) and dyno with the CAI (again not touching the tune) and we will see what is what
