That looks awesome great job Hows it feel now?

I used to hate the trick flow intakes but I really like them now especially the black one. Im getting the Trick flow R intake w/ my income tax return.

Looks great. When you change the injectors... then you can paint the end of the upper intake. LOL

 

[inphiniti]

wow that looks beautiful! im sorry if this has already been asked/answered.... is this on a stock block? and how many miles r on it? this might be somethin id look into!

 

[mustang_cab]

the power is amazing! i have been letting off at around 4k (till i get bigger injectors and maf) to keep if from going to lean. but still it pulls hard. still needs to be tuned also.

oh and yes it is a stock bottom end. it has about 150k but it was mama driven it whole life. i got some pics of the cylinder walls in the link.

and yes in am going to paint the freeze plug. it dont know why the dont do it in the first place!?!?!

thanks for all the complements!!!!!!!!!

 

[dstang01]

Do you feel any loss in low end torque compared to the stock hci? After driving it, would you consider this a worthwhile swap for the money, or is it just a little improvement over stock? Do you think this new power will keep you happy for quite awhile?
Thanks for any comments, Im considering this kit for my stock bottom end

ship me a new falcon ranchero the fast model. haha, i would love to find one of them for a decent price in the us. i'd buy it in a heartbeat.

i'd say with the right additions you should be up there. i could be wrong, but i would think as long as you upgraded your fuel set up, like bigger intank pump and bigger injectors + maf., upgrade your exhaust. you shouldn't have a problem seeing those numbers with the right set up.
