Steeda power pack

Took advantage of the Memorial Day sale and bought the ultimate induction pack with a 91 octane tune. Installation went pretty smooth, straight forward for the most part. The weather stripping was a little tricky to get just right. Other than that pretty simple. Initial impressions are that the car pulls much harder. The throttle is more responsive, exhaust is louder and you can definitely hear the cold air intake. Overall a very good mod. Car runs good and feels like how I would imagine driving a 400 hp car. To anyone on the fence about tuning their car, go for it. Car runs great and the difference between stock and tuned is worth the money.

Congrats on your install. That looks very nice. Do you have any other mods on your car?

I have a mgw shifter and borla s type cat back exhaust on the car. Other than that it is stock. Suspension and addressing wheel hop and traction are next on the list.

Yes ... sometimes the lowers work ... and sometime the uppers work ... & sometimes you need both.

How does this combo work for the 13/14 GT? Does the filter get wet if you get caught in the rain? Has anybody done some rainy day testing?

How do I do that? I don't see the sale price. I am looking for Steeda Mustang Ultimate Induction Pack - Manual GT - 11-14 - See more at: http://www.steeda.com/steeda-manual-....qaMdtTfJ.dpuf

but I would like SCT X4 Instead of SCT X3

Thanks

Jack

We have the same kit on our owners car & his is a daily driver - rainstorms, car washes, etc. & there are 0 issues with the filter & water.

Best Regards,

On my '11 Brembo GT, dual adjustable LCA's (with the correct pinion angle) helped wheel hop, but did not completely eliminate it. I went with a Steeda UCA and the wheel hop was completely fixed. I even went back to the stock LCA's due to NVH issues with them (spherical steel bushings) and kept just the Steeda UCA and the wheel hop was still completely gone, so I didn't even need to do LCA's in that car.


My '14 GT is an automatic car and has absolutely zero wheel hop with 100% stock suspension. Same was true with my '07 GT automatic. The manual trans cars seem to be the only ones with wheel hop.
