Real Posted 12/11/09 12:15 AM Share Posted 12/11/09 12:15 AM hey if u r running a standard airbox with a K&N filter u might as well go for a lower F6 snorkel just for a little bit more support with the CAI... or u could always go for an under battery CAI with a pod filter sitting under there nicely for added support! but great results mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CCCC miso xr6 Donating Members 317 Member For: 15y 11m 23d Posted 12/11/09 04:16 AM Share Posted 12/11/09 04:16 AM semi slicks will help u a great deal, but im sure u dont really need it right now,jus dont be shy lower the tire presure do a nice burn out an go for it. An yea put it in semi auto but dont shift the gears let it do it its self an jus plant it, garanteed ya gona hit that 12. As for the air filter go an get the typoon lower box at a ford dealer I got mine from peter warren ford spare parts at warrick farm,you jus need the lower bit it will cost u about 200 I think ,extra 80 if u want the k an n filter.
