no it wont...





OP, about my PM, his writeup isnt in his sig but this is off of it:

HPS intake vs. Adapter plates:
If you use the HPS intake then the top end picks up quite a bit and you can see gains of 15-30hp or more. Each engine is different so there's no guarantees but these are numbers that are not uncommon and won't set you up for disappointment. The current record NA that we've been able to find is 340/340 to the tires on ported PI heads. The HPS intake allows better underhood clearance and helps stretch the power band on the 5.4 back out to a useful point. Adapter plates move the injector up higher and fuel no longer sprays unimpeded at the back of the valve. This results in higher fuel consumption and a requirement for a good bit more fuel in the tune. The plates are simply a band-aid that has been superseded by the HPS intake. Adapter plates average about 250-375 bucks depending on which brand you get. The HPS intake is 695 and ADDS on average 20-30hp. When's the last time you were able to make an honest 30hp from a bolt-on part for 400 bucks? Exactly. It's worth it and it's stupid easy to bolt up.

As far as the money i allready have the adapter plates on with a victor jr, my power band is allready stretched, probably to far,peak power at 5200 and stretches all the way to 7200.but i am interested on some of the facts about the hps.It looks like a typhon intake, i had one of those on my 4.6 and loss 20 horse n/a.Do appreciate all the facts though,thanks.

Plastic PI intake and adapter plates the HPS wins.

Edelbrock intake and adapter plates with a 250 duration cam at 050 like the OP's motor has I don't see the HPS winning that one.
