that looks nice! how much did that cost and whats the difference between this and stock and was it hard to install? I notice that your intake is 2 piece, does that come with the kit?

as compared to the vortechs stock bosch valve? for the money, i tbetter be lightyears ahead!!!

when i put on the FMIC i installed a different bypass valve, since the stock one uses hoses and barbed fittings.

by two piece to you mean the lower/upper plenums? thats how every 4.6 is designed. plastic lower, metal upper elbow, then the TB

What does it sound like? Does it go "tss-tss-tssssss" like the HKS ones? Or is it more like "kuh-cheeeeee" now?

the only issue with that vlave is that the discharge is SO big, and the inlet into the power piep is small

on a side note, i was GOING to race this weekend, but since i had to drop $700 at a shop today to find out that at 380rwhp i almsot pegged the MAF, and ran out of fuel. which i pretty much already knew........
