I've read that you can change intakes/throttle bodies without too much issue. If you have idle problems, Ford has an idle adjuster plate you can add for less than $20 and solve your idle issues.


p.s.......CAPS LOCK is your friend....

You really should have no problem with using SD system installing your intake or any other mod you listed. You should only worry when you start getting agressive on the cam. I have not yet converted to MA and really dont plan too untill later when the need comes for a new motor.

you probably would gain a little hp but not enough to feel.

No if anything you'll have alittle more power with speed density, although it wont be enough to feel a difference. You can pretty much do any intake an exhaust mods with SD and be fine, with heads it will run good but the idle will start to suffer, mine idles fine untill I turn on the A/C, then the idle starts to surge pretty bad. With an aftermarket cam, as long as you get one that is speed density safe, or creates quite a bit of vacuum at idle it should be fine.

I went quicker with a bone stock engine and 3:55 gears with SD compared to after I converted to a MAF. Depending on where you plan to go with your engine mods should be the deciding factor to conert your car over. I knew I was going to add a blower and cam is the reason I converted. Your car will be no quicker, although my car did idle slightly better after the conversion.

mass air flow is a good idea if you are going to go to an agressive cam.
