When I ordered mine a couple of years ago it was already loaded. You may want to plug in the SCT tuner and scroll through the tunes that are loaded just to make sure before installing the CAI. Just don't load the tune until you have the CAI on the car.

Typically, on the 2014 & earlier Mustangs - they come pre-loaded.

Send me your order number & I can talk to our tuning dept. & confirm if it was loaded or coming via email - if it came via email, make sure to check your spam folder.

Mr. V

It was on the tuner already. Thank you! Installed it and now I'm going for a drive. Your company's service is excellent ! Thank you.

Please let us know what you think. I assume it's the 91 octane tune?

Mr. V

Yup. 91 octane tune. The sound of the cai is amazing. I love that part. The tune is very modest. I read the night and day difference posts and I thought that was overkill. For what it is, I'm pleased. I'm engine bay looks better and the sound is great. Power improvement? Very little but I expected it with this tune.

Mr. V

I wanted to set my speedo for my new tires. The tuner asks for revolutions per minute or something like that. What setting do I use for 285 r19 35 tires in the rear.

tj@steeda

Mr V -

You can work with Matt on the speedo for the tires, as far as the night & day difference, are you feeling a noticeable difference?

Best Regards,

TJ

Tires with the same stated size are not all exactly the same size. That tire size is somewhere around 775 to 780 revolutions per mile. You can go to Tire Rack and lookup your exact tire and size and click on the spec tab. It usually lists the revolutions per mile for each tire.

What are the power differences between just the tune and the tune with intake? Is this a "steeda tune" or just an SCT Tune? If I order the same tuner from AmericanMuscle or other vendor, am I getting the same tune? I want the power increase from a tune, but not really sure I want the added noise of a performance-oriented intake.

tj@steeda

This is a Steeda tune written on the SCT platform - you can only get a Steeda tune written from Steeda. Ordering from other companies will net you their tune.

The Steeda CAI will typically see 9 to 12 horsepower over the stock airbox on the dyno - the rest of the HP comes from the tune, 30+ HP - http://www.steeda.com/steeda-manual-...pack-555-3935/

Don't think of the noise as something "unbearable" ... it is more of a added benefit of the power:



Mr V can help elaborate on the sound - it is a just a benefit of the CAI!

You can also email me for more information or ordering support!

You can lessen the noise a little by doing a sound tube delete. You also get a cleaner engine bay.

Thanks for the info and response

I deleted my sound tube last year and it made absolutely no difference in the cabin noise

EF1

I agree, delete the sound tube and the sound isn't much different from stock. The CAI with the sound tube does get a bit annoying.

Mr. V

I agree that it isn't much quieter. For me, I used to hear the noise through the sound tube and think some thing was wrong with the car. Lol, I was much less scared to put my foot into it after the weird sound tube noise was gone.

Mr. V

I have another question for those with tunes. Ok, I'm a bit paranoid. If my sct tuner breaks, I'm not able to switch tunes. Is there a way to back up the files like my tunes, especially my factory tune, in case something goes wrong with me magic little electronic box.

Yes when you first get your tuner it pulls the factory tune which you can pull off the tuner and put on your computer. Now I know for Bama when I got my first turn I had to send them my factory tune to put on file and that's pretty much what they build all your tunes off. Hope that helped
