my 93 mustang has the following. Full exhaust with shorties and no cats with x pipe. CAI. PP throttle body. Edlebrock heads l. E303 cam ( I believe) UD pulleys elec fan with sve aluminum rad and I believe it's a typhoon upper and lower manifold. I have mix feelings about the manifold. I feel like I should have more power and I have also read some reviews on it . Not impressed . Is it worth changing the manifold since I have pretty much every mod that would make potential horse power ? Also if I do qhxih manifold would be best . ? Keep in mind I eventually want to super charge it.. any comments

I don't think changing the manifold will help much. The Typhoon flows about the same as your heads. That combo should make 280-290 HP at the wheels. Have you had it dynoed?

The guy before me had. It's about 280hp to wheels. Is there anything else i can do before I super charge it to get more power . Roller rockers? Not sure if they came on the heads

You should have roller rockers.

Better heads will get you a little more power, but some of the strongest H/C/I street combos on a stock 302 only get around 320hp at the wheels. I don't think it would be worth pulling your combo apart for maybe 40 hp. The supercharger is best bang for the buck at this point.

Click to expand...

That intake wouldn't bolt down to a stock lower.. It has to have the matching lower to it installed but eitherway I wouldn't waste your time messing with it. If you need more power out of it then upgrade the top end with better or slap your choice of forced induction on it.
