Default intake

First i was going to do windstar intake and pullies(550). Now im thinking windstar intake and ported lower(625) or ported upper and lower(550). Just dont know which is going to be best. If someone has the windstar kit or the ported intakes let me know what kind of difference it makes.

I'd go with ported upper/lower - depending on who's port job it is.

The windstar and ported lower probably wouldn't match up.

I have a Ported Upper for sale. If you're really interested I'll make a deal with you. I'm sick of this thing collecting dust. It's a good manifold.

The spacer I had from VAP was pretty close with my ported stuff. I think the spacer is worth it and the holes are not as same as you think. When I put on my ported stuff plus the spacer, the car pulled much betterat all speeds. 45mph to top speed you could definitely tell a difference. I was so happy with it.

Now onto the bigger and more expense stuff
