so my friend is goin carbed and he is sellin me his edelbrock performer 5.0 intake for a great price.
iv been reading up on them and im trying to figure out if it will help or hurt me. compared to my explorer intake

my set up is:
explorer upper and lower
65mm T/B with matching spacer
CAI
73mm MAF
MAC equal-length shorties
h-pipe
MAC cat-back
MAC under-drive pulleys
1.72 rollers
electric fan
3G alt
9mm ford racing wires
msd ignition and coil
3.08's
and soon to have 3.55's and maybe chip if i get around to tuning it

basically im stock

 

its a better intake but not by much

 

u think i will feel a difference?
iv known the guy a couple years, hes a good friend. but he says it puts out alot more torque

 

Pn a dyno you might see small gains, but seat of the pants....dont think you'll notice the change

 

to be honest no i dont think you will feel a diffrence just like tommy said dyno it and you might gain a few hp.before i would spend the money on the intake i would put some gt40 heads on your car V.S another intake

 

Exactly. You will feel the HP difference with a head swap

 

Exactly, I don't see a benefit in swapping intakes.
I have the same situation with my gt, have a eddy intake in the shed because I have an explorer on the car.

 

well ill most likely pick up bullit proof's spray kit before i do the heads.
and now before i do the intake as well. thanks guys

no question on the spraying
i have all new top end gaskets and when i did the head gaskets the pistons looked really good still.
so would a 75 shot be ok for a DD?

 

im not going to tell you what to spray because if you blow up your car but on my old 95GT it had 160,000 and i sprayed a 150 dry shot on it for years with no issue.as long as you know your motor and know if its not running right and pay attention to things you can spray a 150.i know people that sprayed 75 shot and blew there shit up because they didnt know how to tell when the car was not running right.go on the turbo forums people have stock motors running 70mm turbo with 12 to 14 psi.but if you want to be saft run the 75 shot turn the timing down change your plugs and have fun

 

Honda's spray a 75 shot!
