here is a general list of mods right now:

The shortblock had been rebuilt in 2000, it has approximately 15000 miles on it and so does the T5.
- GT40 heads (less then 1500miles, w/ 3 angle valve job, new burrilium valve guides and seals)
- Crane 1.7 RR
- Trick Flow valve springs
- Motorsport B303 camshaft
- MSD Blaster
- 190lph walbro fuel pump
- K&N conical filter
- BBK long tube headers
- Off-road H-pipe
- Flowmaster 2 chamber muffs
- Richmond 3.55:1 gears
- All new sensors, o2's, IAC, BAP, MAF, ECT, IAT, etc..
- Konig Monsoon 17x8" wheels, 245x45ZR17 tires (9/32 tread, almost new)
- New stock replacement springs
- New Monroe rear shocks
- Motorsport clutch


Now its my daily driver and im going for a street/strip type of car. I still have stock intake upper and lower. Anyone recommand which to get with this combo? Also im upgrading the throttle body shortly to a 65m anyone know what senor to go with? Can u think of any other little things to put on it ? let me know. Thanks, also give me input on E/T's u think it might be able to have.

Please input on what intake to get thanks. Is A powerbox good enough to get? or should i go a corba or gt40? let me know thanks.

I suggest the Cobra or 95-97 (internal EGR style) Explorer intakes - will work very well without porting or mods.

Cobra intake will be good for U right out of the box! Get both upper and lowers and put on a 65mm TB and U should be good for a dailey driver.

$100 labor, but you don't need it with stock GT40 heads.

ok sounds good, when i do my throttle body and adjustable fuel regulator in there, ill start saving for a cobra intake. Is it realstic to buy a used one in a fair price? or is it safer to just go new?

You might find a new one in stock somewhere, but Ford has stopped casting them. Personnaly, I'd look for a used on in good shape. I see them go on ebay for $250-300

That may be so, but how many do they have? And that is what they sell for on ebay.

you could always go with the gt40 upper and lower route, but that seems to be much more expensive. bad thing about the gt40 upper is that it has tubular runners - pretty much maxed out to its potential flow numbers (unable to port) you can port the lower gt40 intakes. With the cobra upper/lower, you can port both and potentially make more flow numbers than the gt40/ported gt40 lower... just my two cents.
