Default Mis-information

Is this alittle mis-information or does this intake really let the rpms get that high? Here is a statement about the 99-04 2v GT Typhoon Intake Manifold:





Typhoon Manifold for 4.6L 2V Mustang


Our new Typhoon intake system for the 4.6L Ford Mustang is a really sensational manifold. Developed in conjunction with one of the leading Mustang specialists, this manifold has been chassis dyno proven to produce 21.5 more rear wheel hp than a stock manifold at 6,500 rpm. More torque from 4,000 rpm on up. This manifold features a three piece design that allows easy access to the bottom and the middle of the plenum chamber along with the runners for those who want to do their own additional port and plenum fine tuning. The manifold is a bolt-in replacement for all 1999 to 2004 engines and uses the stock alternator and all other stock engine accessories. Can be used on 1996-'98 engines if 1999 or later heads are used.

Sorry, but the 2v GT's dont even redline that high, so whats this all about?

they probably tested it on a built motor. They tested this in MM&FF when it first came out and gained about 20rwhp....on a built motor

I have this intake. Its ported also. I have a built motor, and theres no way its worth 21rwhp. Maybe 10. Prolly not.
