i have heard the typhoon intake is pretty good and you have the choice of taking it in and having it ported too.

I think you broke your intake on purpose just so you could get a new one....


Get a stock intake... You still have a lot of mods you could do before you'd want or need an aftermarket.

sounds like a fun time ahead. do you have pictures of the crack in the intake? id like to see what type of damage there was.

also, did you ever notice any difference with the TB and plenum spacers? im trying to determine if its snake oil or an actually benefit to have??

actually i didnt break it on purpose, the car was sitting for sale. hadnt been drove in over a month. took a guy for a ride trying to sell it. let it warm up and then really started putting her thru the paces and she didnt like it. fouled 2 plugs. pulled the intake and had antifreeze standing on 2 of the valves (front and rear passenger) now im in need of another intake.
dont have pictures of the damage but i can take some. the crack really isnt that big, but it really must have poured under pressure.

the tb and plenum spacers made a small improvement, was more noticeable after upgrading the tb and plenum.

was originally selling it bc my wife is pregnant. talked to her about buying something else in a few years, and she said your stang is paid for next september. why sell it when you can have money to work on it after its paid for. so im keeping it, just need to find a good intake setup and cams.
