Sweet, pick us all up one while you're at it and we'll do a "shootout" see what mods work best with it, or I'll just take a free one and screw the shootout.

From what I read, they wont be shipping out for a couple more weeks yet. Although, I like the way they separated it into three sections, so you can take it apart and port if need be. We shall see though.

Okay... from what I here this one (above) is made in China and that may rub some of you the wrong way, but here is the alternative that is supposedly manufactured right here in America, though it isn't quite available yet, either...

I wouldn't rev the stock lower end on a 4.6. Rev's kill a motor just as fast as extra power. The rods just don't handle the stress of higher rpms.

Wow that's pretty expensive! I think someone needs to get that thing installed and on a dyno so we can see what kind of gains I wonder why it took so long to develop something like this??

1 - About time someone came up with something friggin new!

2 - The listing says 6300 and 6500 rpms. Which is it?

3 - Unlike the C&L MAF and the Plenum/TB release, I ain't gonna be the first one to jump on this. I will wait until I have seen independant dyno numbers.

4 - Prices will surely drop after other companies come out with their own version.

5 - Anyway you look at it, 23 rwhp is worth $500 - $600 IMO.

6 - I wonder how hard the thing is to tune

7 - How much dam time does it take to swap an intake anyway?

Its easy to swap with the right tools and know how. We did it on my friends 98 gt basially take everything off the PI and replace onto the new one. and set a new seal and there ya go check for leaks and enjoy. but I do want to see some dyno numbers as well and wait for the price to come down a bit. Well worth it if speculations are true.

I think this is kind of meant for those who want to keep their stock intake look and not go so radical looking with the p-51 intake from Fox Lake. The P-51 is probably the best intake out their for our 4.6's, but it's ugly and you have to a) get a new hood b) cut a hole in your hood under the scoop for it too fit. It's also 1300 dollars.

I think this intake right here, is the one to get. For 530 bux, I think this is the best buy. As long as the alignment on all the holes and markings are correct, I think this is a good buy. As far as power gains, I doubt there's many at all with it as it is. But I would get ir ported right away.

Looks like time is all wee can give this new intake but i'm with everyone here first things first dyno results,more producers, and might get cheaper......this still is a promising thing to look foward to.

Ya Im curious about #'s as well.. The Power + is a reasonble amount for 20+hp....not bad for $500 bones.. I would buy it. I would like to see the complete specs though, like what the gains from low-end to high end rpm's. Im kinda baffled about the 6500 rpm ra
