Default Info for a manifold?

Did anyone happen to dyno the before/after of a new intake manifold? if so could you post the results? i'm looking to see if it's really worth the money. I'm on a tight budget. Also any info for the best mods for bang/buck. just bought my 5.0!

I'm pretty sure you won't get anywhere close to that just by swapping out the intake manifold.

yea you will, i didnt say that was to the wheels now. i dunno how much exactly, but i can assure you its around there, being 1.) the stock intake starves the front cylinders of air. so just helping more air in is a plus. no1 knows how much of a diff it gets.

When changing out the intake manifold only: 15hp MAYBE, 10hp to the wheels (again MAYBE), and all of that is only AFTER going with a high flowing filter, bigger maf, and throttlebody.

I've been to Richmond Dragway a couple times, took my integra a while back. Haven't been in my mustang, dont really think its track worthy, but I live less than 5 minutes away from Virginia Motorsports Park, so if I go, thats normally where, even though the track manager is a complete tool.
