[amerikan]

does anyone know of any recent forums, and if there is an intake available.. what are the expected gains to the wheels? THANKS GUYS

I thought I would try a March ram air system for a Mustang. Got a used one off ebay. I don't see an easy way to duct it to the MM air box. May not be possible. Will post an update if I can figure out a way without butchering anything.

I thought that Logan had some kind of Mustang intake on his MM....Serge now runs with the Big Dogs.....no he is above intake and minor MM improvements.....old lead foot....

Actually, Sarge...he DID replace the factory box with as cone filter (I think he posted as pic).

I also saw this recently in Charlotte with "mrmark" on his Blue one, that has been modded by Mark Rae at Zeus Automotive. It was a nice setup. (and I FORGOT to take a pic of it)

OK, so maybe there's some ambiguity here as to what "intake" means.

If the original question means "intake manifold", the only upgrades I know of are the intake manifold for a supercharger installation. There was some discussion about trying the Aviator intake on a MM but as far as I know nobody has tried it.

If the question is referring to "cold air intake system", there is nothing available for that yet either. Hence my reply commenting about the March ram air system.

Logan's car had a cone-type air filter and a home-built box around it to isolate it from engine compartment heat. It did not have any sort of scoop to bring in cooler outside air.

I stand corrected...

You are right Fordnut...I got "thrown" by the reference to K&N.

My bad.

Hey Mac what's with the occasional eh? I see in your verbage is there a little Canadian in you?

There's always the option of making your own intake pipe and cold-air box.

Cost breakdown:

3" chrome Pep Boys exhaust tip: $25
2 sheets of Plexiglass: $10
Gloss black spray paint: $2.50
Foam seal: $7
Labor: Free

You guys are smart, you can do it too. Think and fabricate.

Cold air box in the raw:

It's all that time Mac spent working with Constable Fraser of the RCMP.
You did watch the TV show?

I have an intake like that in my car from Angry Duck Racing. From their testing, it knocks 0.7 of your quarter mile with a chip. This is from a Crown vic...may do the same in a Marauder.

FROM Sarge,
Well, you think wrong, pal!

Logan never mentioned any mods involving intake. I thought I had his car down on paper. If he did that mod, it would be news to me, K?

Meanwhile, I am not "running" with anything, or, anyone. And, I am not "above" any question posted here, "minor improvements" included.

The question posted used the word "intake," and suggested a path to better performance that none of us have yet explored.

Do you know what "intake" means is on this engine?

Maybe I missed something in reading the original post, but I assure YOU that I have not missed reading anything in YOUR post. WWRROONNGG SIR!!!!

Thank you...I needed to know what it was going to cost me to step up to the MM forever plate.

I'm sorry I did YOU such a disfavor in stepping up...

Hey now, why don't you back off the accelerator there.....I was siimply making a sarcastic joke....witness the eye wink about the fact you had the Kenny Brown S. Cruz said "spoiled" under you post and I was intimating that you had "THE" MM and that getting a K&N filter charger was not a big deal when you have such a hot car....nothing more....simply paying tribute to your new acquistion.....nothing else....I don't hold any ill will towards you for getting the "S" great job.

And when I saw "intake" to me that meant air....I have seen the K&N ads and information talking about increasing Air Intake and I saw pictures of Logans car and asked him what he did to his MM. I am not capt. mechanic just a fan of my MM.

Crap what does a guy with a sense of humor have to do leave a NO FLAME ZONE post after every post or some stupid disclaimer?

While we're on this thread, I know that the consensus is that the K&N replacement filter won't actually give any added HP. What about the K&N (or other) conical filter? What improvent does that give, if any?

[ghost]

Not sure about your car, I haven't seen any tests, but the Impala SS will pick up 8-10 hp at the rear wheels with a K&N cone filter and straight pipe to the intake manifold.

Hot Rod TV (I think it was) reproduced those numbers recently on the program by doing just that.

The stock SS intake system sucks (no pun intended). If yours is better, expect less gains in hp. But any reduction in the restriction of the intake is a Good Thing. More air means you can add more fuel and we all know what that combination will do...

And I was thinking I might see some alternative to the $3000 FRPP 4V Mustang intake.
