Well today my car under went some nice modifications..As you all read from my preivours thread..I had a bad vacuum leak..that was fixed..
I had installed a early 2000 Intake Manifold (ordered from ford for $180 shipped) I recieved it and put in a good 2 hours porting this thing in every way possible..(no pics sorry

) The whole was perfectly mathced to my 65mm FC TB..and the openings on the runners were widened and rough edges smoothed...Also a lump in the manifold right near the opening for the TB..It was all shaved off with a dremel..(no melting,no mess..easy..) Then of course I vacummed all the crap out and then polished it..came out very smooth...
Comparing the two side to side (WOW!) the one I had on there the 2001 mani..eewww yucck! what and ugly design compared to the early 2000...just by looking inside you can tell why it makes more power..the 2000 is smooth and straight down and seperate runner pipes....the 2001 right away has a big big lump that the air must travel over at the opening..and is like one big huge mold..anywho..yes its noticible why the old one is better..
The Power- Yeeeesssss!! Im in love with my car once again!! Made a huge differnece with the rest of my mods..once you hit about 3000RPM you can really feel this thing and once you hit 4000+woooo woooww! The power is awsome! and the sound iss sooo bitchin with the tb,intake,exhaust components...For $180 I say yesss helll yess go ahead and do this mod!! I will be going to the dyno when I recieve my pro-flow 70mm MAFS..before I put it on though I will dyno to see what the intake manifold added alone...see if the 5whp gain is true or not
