How do you no if the trick low will make #s? And itll be the same price as the p51 is now. The trick flow is a copy of the bullit but the bullit dosnt even make much power. And look at every one trying to copy the pi intake with a cast aluminum and losing power all over the band. Alll im saying is i doubt aftermarket compny will match the ford factory piece

Skip the P-51 and hold out for the Trick Flow 2V intake...its a copy of the Bullit Intake but half the price and doesn't need any of the extra parts the bullit does...Should be released early spring.

The P51 is more money because you have to use their fuel rails
Im assuming the throttle body just bolts onto the manifold? or does it still need a plenum?

Actually Fox Lake's website says the rails are not required and many other aftermarket rails fit it, so idk. For the Trick Flow you will also have to buy a new throttle body and air intake, which will be even more money. I do agree though that the Trick Flow will probably be a nice piece considering their work in the past with the 5.0's like you mentioned.
Both the P-51 and Trick Flow do not need plenums. The throttle body bolt's up to them, although the Trick Flow will require an oval throttle body unlike the stock ones. The P-51 uses the same shape throttle bodies as the stock plenum.

I thought that was the entire point? Direct bolt in?

everything I have seen says the trick flow will use the stock style t/b?

RE: p-51
What is the benefit of having that trickflow? Would I see gains over my 70mm TB and C&L plenum combo? If I wanted to get it would I have to get rid of my 70mm TB and get a new 75 mm to bolt up to that?

RE: p-51
intake manifolds on 2V GT's dont make sh*t for peak power. The real gain you see with an upgraded intake manifold is you make more power through the center. Thats why a bullitt can pull a Cobra. Ive read it and ive seen it. i think this manifold would be a good use of money on a 2V motor. "this manifold" being the trickflow or the bullitt
