Intake, throttle body & cams. Oh my!

A few supporting mods for my hotrod cams.
Shaker better work, or I'll make it.

I bought that exact intake and TB, but I got shorty headers instead of cams and only gained 30rwhp, so good luck.

Well I'm hoping for 30/40ish, my research suggest you must have cams or heads preferably to see any gain from the intake, the T-body is eye candy until I can add a vortech.
Ford says once you add cams, then the factory intake is the restriction. Then you get into ported heads.
Which is the direction I'm going.

Wallace,
I hope you see closer to 50 with that setup. When Brenspeed installed my Comp NSR cams and I gained a solid 25-30 rwhp with the cams alone.

That would be nice!
I'm hoping the same.

I had HR cams, FRPP Intake, Kooks LTs with catted H pipe installed.

My 07GT already had a C&L CAI and Steeda UDP's.

Went from 286 r.w.h.p to 342 r.w.h.p. I know FI is more cost effective, but I am very pleased with the gain and the car feels totally different. Also went to 4.10's at the same time. I think 4.10's may rob a little HP on a dyno.

I think you will be happy with the results.

BTW my car's drive ability is excellent with the HR cams.

Yep, I think 340's is a good number.
My hotrods are a daily drive as well, it drives like a dream.

Is the Shaker fitting? I'd be interested to know.

Yes!
The shaker did fit, just need to cut away the lower half.
But I will admit mine isn't funcitional, hasn't been for a long time.
I cut it a years ago.
It sits up maybe an inch higher, which I think is a compliment to the shaker.
I always though it was too low in the hood.

Good to know. I never really considered them as functional. I was concerned the hood wouldn't close. I bought a Foose hood with a pre-cut hole and wouldn't want to replace it. I wouldn't mind cutting the lower shroud around the scoop.

Any final pictures?
