sounds like it could be.DKL said:Well, I waited around the dealership for 2 hours today and then the tech told me that something was wrong with the program, that the vehicle was not accepting the download. He said he thought it was a problem with ford's website. Now, he did tell me not to use the red key now because it was activated but the tune was not in the car and if I did use the red key, it would run bad...does this sound close to be true?
I have had the trackey and I have a tune for the stock air box from AED and I have a tune for the steeda CAI and I can tell you first hand they are full of !@#$Fixy said:"Ive had my car since Nov, 2012 and when I bought it, I didn't get the redkey installed. Since I bought the car, I bought a JLT cold air intake with a tune, but haven't installed it yet. (not sure I want to mess with the warranty) I have about 900 miles on it. Should I activate the redkey or install the intake and tune???"
For what it is worth, on Jay Leno's Garage website, there is a video with Jay and the lead engineer from Ford. Jay asked him a question about after-market intakes, and the Ford Exec told him you won't see any performance gain from the one Ford puts on these cars, by going to an after-market intake. He said the older Mustangs were easily improved, but not these new ones. Hype or Fact, you decide.

Justin, are you saying the tech with Leno is full of it, or the companies that sell and claim more hp by adding the intake and tune?

not true. I have a tune that I use with the stock air box. I have these things I have tried them. I am not guessing. the CAI is worth power (if it is one that is sized that requires a tune). Anyone want to come by I can put the stock air box one load the redkey go for a drive. load an aed tune with stock air box and go for a drive then strap on my steeda CAI and load an aed tune for it and go for a drive. then you can tell me what you think.max5ive0 said:I dont think you can compare a stock airbox vs. aftermarket when you add in a tune to the aftermarket only.

mostly because the boss is supercharged and it would fit the applicationcolticus said:If the setup is so good on the boss, then why isn't it used on the gt500?
you are correct because you cant do a CAI that will give you gains because its bigger and requires a tune. if you do a no tune required CAI you are buying it just for looks. the Steeda CAI is huge. I have pics of its size compared to stockJimmy Pribble said:The Ford engineer didn't say anything about a tune. He said CAI. I haven't seen anyone make appreciable gains by just adding a CAI. Everyone who shows up to make a claim always throws in a tune, as if it didn't matter. :
