Does he have a BBK throttle body and EGR spacer?

the car i posted up has a slight whiney whistle too. very slight though, can only hear it with the hood open, but it is an obviously "whistling" noise. most often times due to sharp edges after assembly or casting. smoothing these issues should solve the problems. if those dont solve your issue, an 1/8" hole in the butterfly will fix it.

There are two intakes that make power on 5.0-s. The trick flow track heat, or the edelbrock performer. Bench tests will confirm this, my car loved the track heat too.

The SSi isnt a whole pile better than stock, just a lot more expensive.

what about the comp polymers i hear they make great power on the 5.0.
