JLT 2010 Mustang GT CAI

Dyno Test

Ford threw us a curve ball this year with the 2010 Mustang GT and installed a factory version of a “Cold Air Intake”. This new intake design is where Ford was able to raise horse power levels from 300* Flywheel HP on 2005-2009 models to 315* Flywheel HP on 2010 models. This 15 HP is great, but we typically see 20-30 Rear Wheel HP on previous models with our JLT CAI and tune package, so let’s get that extra horse power back!

We got hold of a few 2010 Mustang GTs and got to work. First thing we noticed is the new intake works well. We started with a couple of base line pulls to see what we were working with and the cars responded with 269- mid 270’s RWHP, which is about 8-10 RWHP higher then the previous years.

With the large stock MAF we had to go even bigger, much bigger to make the gains needed to warrant customers plunking down the coin for an intake and tuner package. Yes, this as with all 2005-up Mustangs requires a tune to keep the car running safe and make power.

We swapped the intake for the new larger JLT CAI and began to make the tune. A few runs on the dyno to get the tune dialed in and we were in luck, bam, 284.65 RWHP and 308.53 RWTQ. We have seen one car as high as 292 RWHP with nothing more than a JLT CAI and custom tune.

Average gains are 12-15 RWHP across the RPM range.

* New car horse power ratings are rated at the flywheel. Chassis dyno readings are measured at the rear wheels; this is typically 12-15% less than fly wheel numbers.

We have 3 different CAI kits available for the 2010 Mustang GT to cover all consumers.

Part# JLT #CFCAI-FMG-10 is our top of the line, real Carbon Fiber free flowing CAI kit. The high tech and quality of carbon fiber at a very fair price!

For those who like the design of our carbon fiber kit but want it color matched to your car’s color, we have part# JLT #FPCAI-FMG-10. This is a fiber glass version made out of the same mold as our Carbon Fiber kit that is prepped and painted in your car's exact body color.

For those with a budget in mind and mostly looking for the HP, we have part# JLT #CAI-FMG-10. This is made out of heat resistant plastic painted to your body color.
