Jegs or Comp Polymer Powerbox??

[MikeROD16]

Ok, so i was wondering, instead of tapping the whole for the sensor and dealing with all that crap from the explorer intake, what do you think if i sell it for a good 150 maybe 200 if i get real lucky, and save up some money and buy this

Maybe a nice porting in the near future. I was looking at the Comp Polymers one and its like 325. Bit too much. Not sure if its that great of a diff anyways.

here is the comp one.

EDIT:
Lmao, i just noticed the comp one includes a VHS instructional video. I think i would pay $25 for a VHS

Don't buy either one. Unless your running a blower you will only lose power. A 302 needs the long intake runners for the low end tq.

didnt you just install your explorer intake? what is your burning desire to get a new one already.
do a search on that box intake, or any box intake for that matter and I think you will change your mind about wanting it.

i was installing it, when i realized i needed to tap the hole, so im waiting to get the gt40 heads before installing it.

 

[MikeROD16]

damn, i see what you mean, kills my low end power. I love that part of my car, so screw it, no powerbox style intakes for me. any suggestions for around that price?

 

[stykthyn]

a larger intake than the explorer will be mismatched to your car and will kill your performance and your gas mileage. do a search for different set ups and see what is out there. a better place to post this would be in tech. Also hit up Tmoss and ask him about having the explorer ported.

 

[MikeROD16]

i know what im going to do. im not gonna buy anything else, and sell my explorer intake and a couple things i have laying around and buy myself a TFS track heat kit. its pricey but worth it. i just need a few extra parts and my total will be around 3600. thats going with catalog price though.

 

[stykthyn]

just out of curiosity what has made you settle on the track heat???

what are your other supporting mods?

 

[MikeROD16]

seemed like the best pick over the systemax or buying it all seperate. the things i have to buy on the side are the TB, full exhaust, EGR plate for the TB (70mm), lifters, 24 lb injectors, a better fuel pump (prob. 255lph), and an adjus. FPR.

fyi keep the 19's you dont need 24's for a tfs topend kit with the stage 1 cam...

 

[MikeROD16]

ok, awesome! tnx for the info i didnt want 24's. but i will need a fuel pump correct?

 

[stykthyn]

what heads are you running again? your sig is blurry on my computer

 

[MikeROD16]

yeah, sorry about that, they gave me an infraction for having it over the limit size. but i have stock heads at the moment.

 

[stykthyn]

save up for a decent set of heads or you arent going to gain a thing with the TFS intake. I would also look at the street heat intake as an option over the track heat. but honestly a ported cobra/explorer intake will flow with the TFS intakes and it should only cost around 100 or so plus shipping to have tmoss open it up for you.

 

[MikeROD16]

we'll see about it. i posted a thread of what to do.
