You can buy direct from C&L for a lot cheaper than AM, I gave 290 for mine where as AM has it for $380.

I'd say gears, but since you don't already have a tuner, I'd recommend a JLT CAI and tuner.

We just picked up VMPtuning as our tuner. I am currently working out performance packages that include CAI, Tuner and tune. PM me for details, I know you'll be more than impressed with VMP's tunes.

I would say get the tuner and cai combo from American muscle. You will need the tuner in the future for the gears and the catless mid pipe. Plus with American muscle you get free tunes for life, so it's worth it.

if you double the price you can get an SCT tune ~300.00, cold air intake ~300.00 to 400.00 and a BKK 85MM throttle body ~500.00. I have this combined system and the response, HP and torque have transformed My Stang into a beast with just simple bolt ons and a tune. Just be careful because for some it can become to much to handle. As I saw to my passengers have you used the rest room and hold on because we are going for a ride.

I like the suggestion, the 3.7 V6 calls for a 73mm throttle body as a max bore. This is my setup with the 93R Hybrid bama tune from AM. I have factory exhaust for the reason of just wanting to hear my engine only. On easy/calm throttle, she sounds like a dream(pure twin cam). Wide open------->beast.
I am pushing 330hp
2013 V6 3.7 MCA 18"-Pzero
Airaid ca / 93R hybrid bama tune / bbk 73mm throttle body.
