I have an extra stock 5.0 upper/lower intake that I thought about porting. Only thing is, hole on upper number 8 cylinder has a gash in the rear corner about 1/16 deep and an 1/8 wide.
right at 350 to the tires
I'll take one to post up tonight. never posted pic, what's the easiest way? Thanks.
I'm curious, what was the combo? CR? "Big" cam etc?
9:1, custom cam, Keith Craft AFR185s, 1.625" LTs, supporting cast
10:1, custom cam, AFR 165 heads, 1.625" LTs, supporting cast
to name two. the right cam is absolutely critical.
That's a little bit of a stretch.
Tmoss's own site says the intake is only worth 10-15hp.

Everyone is right, the easy thing to do to make more power with an intake manifold is get one with larger runners. However, I understand wanting to keep a stock appearance and make more power too. I think your best bet is to look at having your stock intake upper/lower sent to Extrude Hone AFM in California. I'm not sure on the price to do a 5.0 intake, but the flow numbers are pretty and incredible and there is no other technology available that can produce a full runner length port job on a 5.0 intake like the extrude hone process can. But don't take my word for it, look it up. I believe there is a video on YouTube showing the process being done on a 5.0 Cobra intake. It's probably cheaper than buying a used intake too.Looking to do some Old School speed tricks to my stock 5.O I have cold air intake, headers and full exhaust, Ford Racing UD pulleys, A/C and Smog Delete and PA 95 amp alternator. Workign on intake now. I really like look of the stock intake. I have heard of people using a larger throttle body like 70-75mm on the stock upper intake and laying the gasket over the flange and markign it with a marker then griding the opening out to get better airflow. Will this actually net any increase in HP or torque? Would I be better of just getting a Cobra intake? Also, any other Old School Speed tricks?
Thanks!
Hello Aaron not sure if you realize this but you have replied to a thread that is 7 years old. I'm sure by now he has his intake sorted out.Everyone is right, the easy thing to do to make more power with an intake manifold is get one with larger runners.
