trick flow track heat intake manifold
I was wondering what you guys thought of this intake manifold? I plan on getting this one here http://www.trikflodirect.com/partdet...2&autoview=sku
I was curious to know if I could still put my accufab throttle body and plenum with this? I was originally going to go with a typhoon intake manifold and accufab throttle body and plenum combo but I was beat on so bad about the typhoon intake manifold that I said perhaps I should try out the trick flow. I have a 03 mustang gt with full exhaust and I'm going with a procharger P-1sc 3-core kit. I'm going to be installing both at the same time and dynoing it so I was just looking for a little feedback from everyone here.

well, the only person on here i can think of that uses one is oxford, or mustangman281...whatever his new name is.
he's got one beastly forged/cammed/blown procharger setup from what i remember, so i'm sure it does alot for him. However, I dont know just how much a new intake manifold will do for you with your current setup. Even with a 8psi p1sc kit attached to it, I dont think you'd gain much with a stock heads/cams setup choking it out.
Unless you have a cracked IM that needs replacing, or you plan on going nuts (forged shortblock, ported heads/blower cams, and a bigger head unit than the p1sc) I would personally hold out for now on dropping the $$ on something that wont benefit you all that much.

I am using it and it works great. My numbers are below. By the way I have a novi 2000 not a little procharger.
I just finished building my friends car and used the TFS intake. He has a built shortblock heavily ported heads, cms stage 2.5 blower cams, full exhaust and a porcharger D1-sc making 12 lbs of boost. His car make 535rwhp and limited by his fuel system. Which is pretty good since I told him I was only building it to 500rwhp.

Correct me if I'm wrong but it seems to be just what I was looking for.

anyways, my opinion still stands. The two people on here who are praising it the most make huge numbers and have fully built motors. I just think that at this point in the game youd have more of an opportunity to make bigger numbers focusing on blower cams or something.
Dont get me wrong, if i was going with a blower other than a twin screw myself, i'd probably have one on top of my engine. But if you're planning on going big in the future, i'd say go for it. I dont think it will hurt you. Just dont think it will benifit you all that much right now
