My Sunday project

[TrickyP]

I was on the fence about installing the FRPP intake manifold, especially since my car is a DD and only occasionally sees the open track. I woke up this morning and said, screw it, I'm putting this thing on my car. Install wasn't too bad. I loaded up my Brenspeed tune and was on my way around town. Overall I will admit that it feels like I lost some grunt down low (seat of the pants), but the top end screams like a beast! I was able to open it up a little bit entering the highway and can definitely tell I gained some power on the top end. I'm satisfied with the result, especially with the looks under the hood.

That will be my next project....I think I can only bend over the engine compartment for so long before my back is done for the day. Powdercoated Ford Racing valve covers are definitely a Christmas present to myself. =)

Save yourself some money and have David (fallenauthority) do your valve covers. I think he even has an exchange program setup now.

The only problem is that my car is a DD....or does he send a set out already powdercoated and you send back your old set?

Yeah this wasn't too bad. When I first read the instructions I freaked out a bit...but once I read through them carefully this wasn't too bad. It took a little time, but then again I wanted to make sure I was doing it right.

Yeah that was with some of the older gen models. I believe Ford addressed that issue with the newer gen models. I haven't seen any posts on the black lung since those 1-2 people posted YouTube videos a few years back now.
