not that you'll ever read this, or that it even matters at this point, but ill bite

replacing the manifold with a ford racing manifold is literally taking a stock one off to put a stock one on. good waste of 300$ there. As far as the rest of that list, if you actually do all those mods, you should see about 300whp

im bored

Hopefully he replaced it because the heater hose nipple got brittle and broke, or something like that. Even then it could still have been rigged but whatever.

I was still rocking the factory 100% plastic piece until 2 years ago. I was jacking the engine up and broke the heater hose nipple because my dumb *** forgot to pull the hose first. Oh well, it was only a matter of time. I did some customizing to the new one, I can't prove it with dyno numbers but I'm sure it makes another 10 rw over "stock" lol.

Glad you got something from it. It was a fun little project and a cool opportunity to do some dress-up under the hood.

Wonder if this is normal, but sometimes on hard acceleration I'll hear a whine like a pulley or something. I've replaced all but power steering and water pump... It's kinda like a turbine sound if I hit it right. Sometimes it does, sometimes not. Anyone else experience this? Doesn't appear to be a damaged part, just the increase in speed of the belt...
