Default Texas Hot Rods

I just wanted to give THR some mad props. I had ordered the BBK SSI intake manifold about 2 1/2 months ago, and then it was put on back order that very next day, so needless to say I never got my intake. Well like a good mustang owner i waited patiently and waited and waited and waited......they are still pushing back the date on when I am going to get it (i know it isnt Summits fault, its BBKs). I went and talked to Brian today (the owner of THR, they are here in el paso), and he hooked me up with a TFS Track Heat intake, matching valve covers, the breather, and a 70mm EGR spacer for just a little more than I had paid for my intake manifold. If you need something go talk to Brian and he will fix you up with what you need. GREAT SHOP!!!!!!! MAD PROPS and thanks again THR!!

PS- he said i should have my stuff within a day or two.....

how good is the track heat intake?? lol

Yeah, it should be pretty good w/ your setup. You'll lose some low end tq w/ it, but you'll have more top end power at higher RPMs... Get a 1" spacer if you want to get a little of the tq back. It won't make up the difference, but it should help a little by adding another inch to the runner length....
