Upgrades - Advice?

I'm looking for some advice on Tuners and CAI:

Tuner Choices:
  • I'm considering the Bully Dog Triple Dog Gasoline Downloader Tuner SMP-40510 to take care of the tuning. Does anyone have experience with this unit?
  • An alternative I'm considering, is the SCT 9600 LiveWire Mustang Tuner. Can anyone tell me how this works for them?
Cold Air Intakes I'm considering:
  • Steeda 555-3139 Cold Air Intake Kit w/ Carbon Fiber Inlet Elbow.
  • C&L 10699-05PR Trueflow Racer Air Intake System
These will be controlling the flow for a 2009 Mustang GT (Manual Trans.). I've already selected the following items:Borla 140135 catback "S" pipes; BBK Performance 1763 Twin 62mm Throttle Body; Steeda 555-3106 Throttle Body Spacer, and; Steeda 701-0005-A Underdrive Pulley System.

So what are your opinions of the tuner and CAI choices? Are there any others I should be looking at?

Thanks for your input!

I've been busy figuring out the way I want to go and have taken a few suggestions from others, plus some additional research and have come up with this:

Magnaflow Tru-X X-Pipe

Borla Stinger S-Type Axle Back with Stainless Steel Exhaust Hanger Kit

SCT LiveWire Mustang Tuner w/ Free Custom Tunes & Windshield Mount

C&L Racer Cold Air Intake

C&L Performance 3 Valve Intake Manifold

BBK Twin 62mm Throttle Body

Steeda Mustang Underdrive Pulley System

Comp Cams Stage II XFI VSR Camshafts

Comp Cams Valve Springs Beehive

Comp Cams Valve Spring Steel Retainers

Motive Performance Plus 3.90 Gears (8.8in)

Motive Bearing Kit (8.8in)

Ford Racing 8.8" Traction-LOK Rebuild Kit w/ Carbon Discs

Shelby Strut Tower Brace


Regarding cams, I was thinking 3.73 for something a little more reasonable on the street than 4.10; but then I saw the 3.90's and read the reviews. Looks like a good middle ground between mild and radical.

On the right track? better suggestions? Your advice is appreciated.

go with SCT, forget the bullydog. dont know anyone with that.
lose the throttle body spacer, that thing is worthless.
i like the C&L CAI better than the steeda one.

just my 2 cents.
