F150 works great for n/a cars...

Windstar works great for boost...


It looks to me like the windstart was a cleaner install on your car though??

Na broski there is a much nicer install with this manifold and it just makes the engine look better all around. Also it is easier to get to some things since it is raised up farther then the windstar.

I know nothing about the V6 cars, but I find it crazy that an "upgrade" for an intake comes from a minivan or a pickup truck...

Are either of those proven to give more hp/tq??

The reason is flow on the stock manifold us horrible. U have 2 bolts to start then a series of bends, either of those have dyno runs that support 10hp 15 tq.

The windstar has been proven for 5-7hp / 10-50 tq

I don't think anyone has ever just n/a dyno'd an f150 intake, I have an f150 intake but it has an 80mm TB on it that can't come off ;P Maybe I'll buy another and go dyno it to test 0_0!

Yeah, you get a lot more torque from the longer runners in the F150 intake, that and you can port it.

I think the windstar is the best choice though thanks to being very light weight, more hood clearance and less heat soak.

Does it need porting though? Its been proven to support over 500rwhp if I'm not mistaken.
