    Ok I'm looking at purchasing a Steeda CAI and Steeda 2.65in pulley for my 09 GT500 and of course a tuner just wondering if anyone has this setup or knows someone with it and if theres a better CAI an pulley combo to go with....supposedly using these two in conjunction with each other can give you as much as 125hp increase......just wanting some outside input....thanks

    Call VMP tuning, biggest name in GT500. They will tell you what to do.

    you can do like E did and get a port and polish supercharger or you can upgrade you S/C all together and put down 700+ with a either a tvs or a whipple for $3500

    Nice! if it was me I would just spend the extra grand and do a S/C upgrade I know Lethal performance has a 2010-11 gt500 with the Whipple 4.0 crusher kit on a built short block putting over 1,000 rwhp!! go on their site to get more info on it!.. I have a friend that road races and he did a tvs upgrade and put down 730 to the wheels on his 08 at RPMM

    Yea.... Your car at 650 rwhp would be like mine at 575rwhp.... So you won't be too far off plus your 5.4 will make more TQ.
