I got my new intake manifold from Rob at Flipside customs, I just never got around to taking pictures yet until now. I did have a a questions though before I put it on.
1) Tune, now I know it's going to move my powerband up now am I going to have to mess with the timing at all? I'm getting pretty decent at the AEM but I don't trust my self with messing with the timing, I have no problem adding fuel though, simple enough using data logger.
I also just ordered my 70MM 5.0 Mustang throttle body from JEGS, should be here this week sometime. I did some port work on the runners also.
New goal 300 whp at around 15 PSI i'll keep you updated.

Make sure you order the right "mustang" TB, they change the bolt pattern when they went to the 4.6. BEGI uses the 4.6 bolt pattern which is much smaller.

No, but considering I will be drag racing the car the huge plenum will help it breath up top along with the 70MM TB and the short runners. I should make a lot more power up top, and the boost path is greatly improved.

Rob @ flipside should know what he used.

I'm not worried about overall flow, just equal flow. There were a lot of designs in the thread that Scott/Matt had a while ago that had terrible/no flow to cylinder 1. I'm ready to drop $500 on an intake manifold, if someone can show me the flow data that proves that it's not going to burn up my motor.
