on a NA car they suck ass and on nitrous they suck ass, BUT so far on a SC car they work great
do your self a favor sell it and buy a holleysystemax intake or buy a tfs track heat if your planing on putting heads on too.I know i have heard nothing but bad things out of there intakes
now mustangfan how come i seen you coming back bragging on that intake lol jk na it seems to be good for sc cars but i aint been inpressed any other time with it
I'd like to see your exact list of parts before saying anything. We need to know everything. MAF/TB/heads/cam/tranny/rear gears/block... everything. You may simply have a classic case of some badly mismatched parts here. Bigger (especially intake manifold ports) isn't always better. If you have the stock heads then 19 pound injectors should be fine.
He is right....and I dont care what BBK says they are just trying to cover their own ass. That intake would work well with stock heads and stock cam.....I have seen people go into mid 300s rwhp with a stock cam and I ma sure you can prolly go higher. Something isnt right with the intake not your engine....unless you messed with your engine and ****ed it up some how
Your mechanic is wrong on more than one scenario there. Namely, the "too much air" comment and "not enough backpressure"...
Something was incorrectly replaced during the install.
Check vacuum lines, timing, plug wires, etc.
I talked to a friend on mine today & he said the same thing that it sounds like a vaccuum leak. & i told him i've checked & rechecked everything. He told me to pull the plugs. If theres oil on any of the threads of the spark plugs then i have an internal vacuum leak. so i pulled the plugs, cylinders 3 & 4 have oil on the threads. this means i have to pull the intake & check it for squareness. thats why i lost so much power.
I recommend ARP intake manifold studs instead of bolts, the manifold will sit a lot more square when you install it
Just got my call all together. Among other problems like it just wont start. GUESS WHAT, installed the thing just like BBK says to and the crossover tube still leaks gas. And its got to be the tightest designed thing around. Its nearly impossible to fit everything around it. Took 3-4 hours just to get everything right so it would go all the way down onto the lower manifold.
So back apart it comes again. Dont know what the heck im gonna do about the fuel leak since its installed to specks. Made sure that it was because of all the problems I heard about. Maybe Ill try sanding down the spacers like the other guy said. But it was already pretty tight on the O rings the way it is.
Im gonna do a seperate thread about the stupid trick flow parts.
I had problems too about mine leaking. What I did is before you put the spacers between the manifold and the fuel rail push the fuel rail together with the crossover tube and make sure all your injectors are all the way down if they are not it will be just a little cockeyed and it will leak. then slide the spacers in and it shouldnt leak. Also put some grease around the o-rings (just a little) to get them to slide in easy and make SURE that you dont rip them. They are REALLLLLY easy to rip and you will never get them to seal if you rip them

So where did you end up timing it to? 10 is factory. Im pretty sure we tried the full range on the distributor. it could be that it flooded before we got it timed so thats why it didnt start. i doubt it will be that easy tho. Thanks!
With my car on motor (before the supercharger) I was running 16 degrees of timing. Now I am running 10 degrees with the supercharger and that intkae makes GOOOD pwer numbers
