has anyone seen the new 2 stage intake from bbk? although its for the 4.6 its a SICK design! individual secondary throttlebodies that open at whatever rpm you want. WHY cant they make one for the 5.0? this sucks. sorry ts so new i havent found pics on the net yet, but its in there 08' catalogue.

that sounds sick i bet it is expensive as hell, but ya i bet they will come out with one for the 5.0 soon.

Meh... sounds like companies trying to reinvent the wheel. Ill look into it when it doesnt suck as bad as the SSI

Hopefully BBK got that intake right..cause the SSI is just plain[:'(]...throttle bodies are their specialty and should of stuck to that

i agree with that, but the idea is solid. i cant believe no one has done it yet, honda and dodge have been doing it for years, and it works great. i installed one on this autocross full race neon i had with excellent results. i hooked up the secondaries servo to my shift light on my autometer tach. i just set the rpms with the dial, and your golden.

even though bbk's quality sucks right now, i love the fact that they are innovative and thinking out side the box with design and function, they just need to invest in quality tooling.

are you guys serious? cobras have that stock... IMRC's... their 8 little throttle body's in the intake... opens up around 3k depending on how much throttle you give them

atleast i know for a fact that the 98 cobras had that...

your right, but they made this for the 2 valver! If someone made one for the 5.0, i would jump all over it . thats what i was thinking.
plus edelbrock hs the new 4.6 2valve airgap type intake. it looks like a carb intake with an elbow. where was this crap when i had a 2 valve mod motor? plus you can install the elbow any direction you want?! damn---------

i wanna see it, i love how bbk's intakes look but im too scared to use it. when they sent me my headers a few weeks ago i got a catalog but it was a 06-07...

My 96 Windstar has a split port 3.8L secondary plated open @ 3500rpm @ WOT for more power. Nothing new. The 05-up 3V Mustangs have charge motion plates as well as the 4V Mark VIII 4.6L engines.

It's alot easier to do on these engine because there is no lifter valley under the intake so there is lots of space for these goodies. Not so on a OHV engine.
