I would get a tune before CAI. If you are satisfied with overall power, and just want better throttle response and 2 minute install, then for less than $300, it is really hard to beat the Pedal Commander for normal everyday driving improvement.

5.0 dude has a ecoboost he is probably the best person to answer this. IMO if its anything like other stock turbo vehicles then
downpipe, intercooler, and a tune. Dont wast money on a CAI. Get a better filter.

CAI is a waste of money. Get a tune for sure.

CAI/Downpipe is a waste of money. Tune and if you need more power then fuel pump/injectors/turbo/more tune.

Upgrade the turbo/intercooler/fuel injectors/CAI/Exhaust. This engine should be able to handle 500hp without modifications to the internals.

Anything with a turbo engine gains the most power from a tune, it's easy to lie to the ECU to turn up the boost.
NA engines need intake and exhaust work because they have nothing shoving air into their cylinders, breathing mods first.
Go with what 1slo5oh says because every platform is different and has weak spots that only people following it know.
I could spend $5k on an intake and intercooler to lose 10rwhp on my car because they look cool and sound cool and all the cool kids get them but the stock ones flow just fine on 1000whp cars. Every engine is differentLast edited by KilaByte; 10-01-2020 at 01:25 AM.
