Well, for comparison.
I almost had what you have in your car now at my last dyno.
I had a cam, injectors, tb,egr,maf tho on top of what you have.

[ul][*] Ford B303 Cam:
. Duration': 224°/224° @ .050'
. Lift: .480'/.480' [*] Steeda Aluminum Underdrive Pulleys[*] Edelbrock Performer Intake(1500-6500)[*] 24# Injectors[*] Pro-M Bullet 75mm MAF for 24# Injectors[*] Accufab 70mm TB[*] Edelbrock 70mm EGR Spacer[*] Chrome Breather Valve[*] BBK Fenderwell CAI[*] BBK 1 3/4" Ceramic Coated Long Tube Headers[*] BBK 2.5" Off Road Shorty X Pipe[*] Flowmaster 40 Series Mufflers[*] MSD Pro-Billet Distributor[*] AC Delete Kit[*] Smog Removed[*] Electric Fan

Sorry Love if you was making even 220 to the wheels i would be impressed. Not knocking but 190 is the norm on a stock and with out some heads its hard to get those numbers you hear about other people making with out some better breathing heads.

hmm alright well thanks guys. Do anyone of you know about GT-40 Intake Manifold?

Alright well I just bought a Ford Racing GT-40 Intake Manifold and I took off everything but now i am seeing that for the vaccuum lines on the bottom of the stock intake has 4 outlets on the bottom and then two holes right under the fold over on the intake manifold. But then the GT-40 has only two and the two holes. See pictures below. I dont know what the hell is wrong i mean it is a ford product made by ford. Nothing goes right when you work on these Mustangs I tell ya. Well if you guys know about anything to do i could use any help. (Went to Mustangs Unlimited and asked about it and they gave me the number for Ford Racing) I am just going to have to rig somethin up i guess but if I could get some help then it would be great!!!
Thanks!!!

Pics
1st one is of the Stock Intake Manifold, 2nd is of the bottom of the GT-40 Intake Manifold, 3rd and 4th are of the left and right side where the two side outlets are and then you have the two holes on the bottom of the fold.

would have to say if those are the only holes you found then hook up the lines similar to when the stock manifold was on, and just cap off the other two coming from the engine. well just a suggestion, otherwise i'd contact someone with a gt-40 intake for confirmation.

Take the fittings off your old manifold,clean them up and put a little thread paste (not to much) on the threads and thread them into the new intake.I beleive you only need two ports so you would put a plug (with thread paste) into the other ports.

hmmm idk about that have you guys done it yet i mean if it is not right then i got to take everything off again. idk i am going to call Ford Racing again today. Those mothers are hard to get a hold of. I will see what they say and if not i am going to try what you guys said or just make some T connections to the ones that are not being able to go anywhere. Another problem that i am having is that i can not get the fuel rail totally off. like they say there are these clips but i pull and pull and they come off of the injectors and i took them all out and then it just wont come off i will find away but if any of you guys knows maybe a few tips on what i should do then that would be great. Thanks!!!

you need a special tool to break the fuel line fittings apart, you can get it at just about any auto parts store for less that $20. I would do what you about the vacuum lines, get some tees and install them in the hoses to make sure all the vacuum lines get hooked back up so everything works correctly. make sure a big line goes to the MAP sensor and the PCV valve and brake booster, rest of them can be smaller ones.

thats sh***y cause i just stood on the manifold and started yankin on tthe bi**h and they all popped off, i had a harder time getting the fuel injectors out of the manifold. after you unbolt the fue rails then grab right behind the injector and just pop it off, but beware the top o rings might come off of the injector into the fuel rail. but then you just take a flaT head screw driver and pop them back out and throw them back on the injector
