i found a guy selling a new one for 300 plus shipping, my car has a kamakaze race header, truebendz flex, and a custom 3 inch exhaust. one resonator, one import muffler. screamin deamon coil pack and wires. 70 mm mass air meter, will get a 70mm t/body for the intake, and a 3 inch custom cold air or short ram intake, i have both so whatever you all think would be more benificial. thats all i can think of right now, so please let me know if this is a wise buy. also, i bought a fiberglass hatch about a week ago, and will be purchasing another focus to strip out and rally race and all of these parts will be going on it, it WILL be full race spec. so i need to know if i can use it on it or if there is anything better. one last thing, will this intake make any difference if i go turbo?
I'd say cams and gears would be a better choice for performance, but if you're going nuts with the motor later, and don't think you'll find a better deal, it seems like a good purcahse.
yeah if you can get it for 300 i would go for it. even though with your mods it probably wouldnt help it would be good to use sometime in the future if you turbo or something. for 300 bucks its a frickin bargain.
That intake is designed for many changes, high compression a fully ported cylinder head, aggressive cams and serious tuning. Anything less than that and its a waste.
Anytime you do the kinds of mods you already have and are considering, you should step the camshafts and install adj. cam sprockets and get the car tuned in on a dyno. Chances are the car is not ideally tuned even with the mods you have now.
For that price i would go ahead get it and put it in the closet till your ready for it. If you never get ready for it you should be able to sell it for what you go in it.
I wouldnt put the intake manifold on till at least i had, Cams, Cam Gears, Injectors, Pro MAF, and 70mm throttle body.
drivable but depends on the cams...stage three FR's are much different then even stage 2 cat's
