It's amazing how somebody can probably just fab up an intake pipe and discharbe pipe and you can save like $500.. Too bad we aren't fabricators

What injectors did you get for $75? 03/04 cobras? Did ya get the harnesses too? That's another 35 bucks

I got the Vortech injectors (ones that come with the kit. Guy was using them up to 450 HP. So no adapters needed. He didn't need them so all 8 shipped for 75 worked for both of us! And thanks man, I'm happy with the overall cost. I guess it's pretty close to 1500 without tuning. And I think I have an idea for the intercooler, so I'm going to hold onto it for now, haha.

I let my tuner worry about the safety of the engine. I know it woulda been beneficial to the stang, but I'm ok with not instaling it at this point... We'll see what happens, it might have to go on....

I dont wana guess numbers, but you will def hit over 350... that's about all I wana say. Not too sure how it will go w/out many other supporting mods.... but I think that T/B will help u more then any other mod you got.... since you can physically push more air in now

what kind of injectors are they?

Read above on the injectors. And yeah, that T/B with matching plenum I think will help. I can't wait to hear it though. With how my exhaust sounded before, it should be incredible after!!

I think they're 38# injectors. Light blue color I think.

And I will monitor my car. Still deciding on all the gauges I want. I was recommended an INterceptor gauge that would monitor everything but can't find it...
