Factory installed option, or dealer installed?
Yes, dealers install power packs, drag packs, etc... on Mustangs, of course a MAF TSB follows.
If it's a factory tune and stock MAF meter, the drop-in and CAIs are pretty much just a sound and/or a cosmetic mod. If the performance "package" includes a larger air meter and a performance tune, then you're getting your performance from those items, and not a drippy filter.

It was factory installed. It was part of a $3000 sport package that included 20" rims, running boards, borla exhaust system, K&N filter, custom floor mats, and the list keeps on going.

Larger MAF, reflashed PC...??...if not, still more of a sound/cosmetic mod. And still, if over-oiled, bad, under-oiled, even worse. Assembly line installed, or option package installed at dealer, still not too sure on that.

It was assembly line installed. Part of the "Texas Pack" when its built at the San Antonio plant. Came with a separate insert that described the HP increase of this package over the basic setup.
