Since everyone else was afraid to do it, I took the liberty of getting it done to improve the mustang 2v community. lol

I heard a lot of hate from people saying it was a bad idea and that it wouldnt make much power and would lose a ton of low end.

I did my research and came to the conclusion that nobody had any hard data and figured it was all hear say so I went through with the purchase.

First of all, let me say I would NEVER do this on a bolt on 2v...even on my car, its kind of pushing it since I have to rev the car to 6300 rpms to even take advantage of the extra power.

For anyone pushing some boost or running H/C its a great piece.

I will say that after the intake/6061 elbow/regulator/ and all the fittings/lines, I ended up spending about 1k.

Heres a rough pic, excuse the dirtiness, engine bay was extremely dirty and I still hadnt gotten the chance to clean up the vacuum lines, remove, the egr, etc.




On to the gains,





Final numbers were 427 rwhp and 376 ft lb tq.
Peak HP came at about 6200-6300 rpms and looked like it would climb forever if I wanted to keep revving it.

Previous best was 384 rwhp, not sure why this pull was layered but you get the idea.

A little above 4500 rpms and the edelbrock just starts climbing to the moon where the PI flattens.

So even if you go just by the peak numbers were looking at a solid 45 rwhp gain or so.

Im sure if we had a previous pull up to 6300 rpms the gaps between the PI and edelbrock at 6k and higher would be HUGE.


So there you have it. The intake will in fact, give solid gains on bolt on, blower 2v's and looks great under there.

I dont think anyone EVER disputed putting this combo on a blown or H/C car.. I dont see why you had so much opposition on the subject. The only times iv ever seen it not recommended was on a bolt on car.

Mostly other sites and even my tuner said he didnt think it would be worth it and that I would lose a TON of bottom end.

I had many people saying that it was a bad idea with my setup since I had stock heads and cams mostly.

Honestly, the stock bottom end is more of a problem. It looks like the car would make more power if I could pull higher but I didnt want to take the stock bottom end any higher than 6200 rpms.

Ill get some better pics when its all done....Im still waiting on this EGR cap and I need to re do the vacuum lines, ditch the egr, and clean it up a bit.

Im hoping for 10s, that was my goal!

Anytime man, honestly if I were to do the rails again, I would just have called MMR and bought the rail kit from them lol

I think I ended up spending more than their kit cost when it was all said and done.

Of course I did use russel fittings, stainless steel lines + a 160 dollarr aeromotive regulator

Not sure what they send out.
