gt-40 intake

[92riceeater]

hey im just wondering how much better the gt-40 is over the stock intake....i have a gt-40 i can get for 20$ and i want to know if i should go with it for awhile before i get a edelbrock intake.....any info on how much extra power it gives and if for 20$ is it worth it just for the fun of it

 

[FastDriver]

Nope.

what's the guy's name? I'll buy it and pay shipping for 20 bux

 

[poneypower89]

20 bucks?

Buy it now, you wasted too much time asking the question here already.

gt-40 is a good proven intake.
with port work from t-moss it'll hang with just about any aftermarket intake.

tell ya what going though installing mine right now, I'll let ya know what it's like tomorrow

Get it. It'll make nearly the same horsepower (within 1-5) of an Edelbrock Performer with a broader torque curve and most likely more torque. Supposed to flow about 5cfm lower one.

Ported it'll perform just as well as a Performer RPM.

its garbage...let me know the guys # ill give him 25 for it.

$20 for a GT40 intake?Is this a type error.

 

[Matts89LX5.0]

i'll give him $50

 

[Strype]

You sure it's not an Explorer intake? Those get called GT40's quite a bit. I think the stock flows 126cfm and the GT40 is roughly 200CFM. Big difference.

If you don't want it I bid $50 cash.

 

[IntenseBlue]

Explore flows the same as a GT40 on the lower and about 5cfm less on the upper from what I've seen.

Is this for real? The GT40 intake is $600 new. Go get it, just make sure it's not cracked.

Dude! Don't tell him that- I was bidding



That's okay, I got an Exploder intake, like said before- almost the same thing and even more with a spacer.

That's nothin - less than the error factor or casting differences........they will make the same average power when put on the same engine. They vary ~2-4HP anywhere in the curve.

 

[IntenseBlue]

That's cool. That's what I figured. Still haven't tried your intake out yet.

 

[tmoss]

watta ya wating for?

 

[IntenseBlue]

I got it put on, but we messed the timing up and fouled the plugs. I had to go to work and a buddy while I and a buddy were putting the plugs in. I told him to have someone follow him while he brings the car to me since I was only about 4miles away. He comes in about 2 hours later and tells me my throwout bearing went out and the clutch doesn't work. So I get a clutch and throwout bearing and go to put it in. Behold, teeth are missing off of my transmission gears. So, now in the hole saving for a clutch and transmission. The clutch I originally bought was just a OEM spec clutch from Zoom, so I took it back. Might as well do it right while it's out.

haha, 20$ wasnt a spelling mistake, it was off an explorer, i didnt get it because it was cracked. the person drilled a hole in the upper plenum ,then welded it back up but it leaked......i was mad that he didnt think to disclose this info to me on the phone.....sorry boys, i dont know what he was thinking....

 

[Mavrick]

I would have grabbed the lower if it was un-harmed, for $20 you can't go wrong.
