Installed pictures please.

no, the ford racing intake is like an inch taller then the stock one. No strut tower brace will clear this monster

 

[*JZ*]

No, but this may fit

I'll take 2 of these please.

But will it fit under a stock hood with that being an inch higher

Ooh, fun, make sure to get non-n20 numbers on them too.

I'm surprised no one has put together a strut tower brace like the classic guys run that is multilink and goes around the center of the motor (think carb/aircleaner clearance). The crossbar is forward, like over the belts and runs diagonals back to the towers.

Is this plastic or metal , I can`t tell? Will it take nitrous?

 

[killr3v]

it's the same material as the stock intake. It's perfect for nitrous...or so they claim

Can't see why not, Stock intake with a intake cover would equal the same thing.

They arn't out yet so no strut tower brace plan's makes sense

It will take nitrous (risk is always involved for a back fire though) , it's alot thicker then the stock one, the belly of the intake is alot better design so it won't pool as bad.

There are TwinScrews that I believe can not have any of the existing strut tower braces, particularly with stock hood.

Like this:

I will take some side shots of the engine by so you guys can get a better idea of height.

should have them by tomorrow

So it is plastic?

Yes sir light weight. 9lbs

 

[Bkid]

I like that it is light weight. I wonder how hard it would be to tune?

Just giving a heads up, i preordered mine from Jared at lethal about a week ago and it just showed up at my house 5 minutes ago!

How's the pricing on these peices?

RH

 

[Corpo]

~$500-$600

Where did you pay $500 for this intake, because I've only seen them for $599.


Does anyone have any idea what the estimated power gains are on these intakes with FI. I have a turbo with BBR heads, but factory cams, and i was wondering if the gains would justify getting one.

That is a bad intake! Can't wait to see results!
