Not trying to jack thread, but on the same note: would the gains from an explorer/gt40 intake on an otherwise stock engine be worth it? I know it wouldn't flow as well as a street heat but i have one sitting around and im not sure if its worth the trouble. Only mods are full exhaust and K&N.
Not to hijack, but I have a vert with the factory stb, if I do an HCI what kind of stb should I get to replace the stocker with? Also, I shouldnt run around without a stb should I?

Mine is a vert, thats the only reason I ask. I know it probably isnt critical (some sfc's are probably more helpful than the stb) but I think Ill be keeping mine just for peace of mind
Even a vert with subframe connectors welded in needs the strut tower brace, I could tell a pretty big difference in the way my car handled with it not on there.
Yeah I have a friend with a vert that flexs like crazy compared to my GT. He has no subframes or strut tower brace and his whole car creaks with every driveway we pull into...
Im thinking of picking up a maximum motorsports sport box, its a bit pricey I think (about $1500) but it gives you subframe connectors, k-member brace, strut tower brace, springs, shocks, struts, panhard bar, bushings, and a bunch of other stuff. Sounds like a pretty nice well rounded suspension upgrade from stock, sort of like the "trickflow top end kit" of the suspension world.
