Intake, throttle body & cams. Oh my!
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.

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.
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.

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?
