People can mod their cars however they want. Whatever makes THEIR car more enjoyable to THEM has nothing to do with you. If someone wants to build a NA 4.6 2V engine and spend thousands of dollars doing so and end of the day they absolutely love their car, then that is great. If someone wants to go a different route and hit it with boost or nitrous, then great for them. People like you try to bash everyone else and talk all this trash because you want them to do what you think is best. I simply offered an alternative to a stock manifold. My initial comment was ridiculed and I replied. Like I said before, this isn't about how much money you spend. It is about the passion of the sport. People spend tens of thousands of dollars on cars and builds and take the car to the track and it runs into a wall or catches fire or something breaks and they have to do it all over again. If someone on here spends a few thousand dollars and ends up with a 300 RWHP car that they enjoy and can drive all day every day, then I'd say they did extremely good.There are mods and there are smart mods. An intake swap on a stock PI engine is not a smart mod. For that matter....neither is spending thousands of dollars on bolt ons for a 4.6L just to break 300rwhp (which is what you'll need to do BTW) instead of just springing for a power adder....but hey, if people only did smart mods, half of the aftermarket companies wouldn't be in business I suppose? The fact of the matter is, basic bolt ons are fun and for the most part, cheap....but in the grand scheme of things N/A mods are just not cost effective on the 4.6L....and intake swaps are among those mods.
