The gt-350 mani is the way to go, no loss in low end big gains mid to upper rpm's.
Anyone Seen this intake perform yet?
Edelbrock is showing off a new cast aluminum Intake manifold for the Ford 5.0 Coyote V8 at SEMA 2015. According to them this intake will fit under the factory strut tower barces on both the S197 and S550 Mustangs. From the exterior it appears to be a take on the Boss 302 intake, but looking inside it seems that the runners may extend further into the main chamber than the Boss unit. This new intake comes drilled and tapped for nitrous.
According to some signage and a dyno sheet posted with it Edelbrock claims it picked up 16 HP over the factory Coyote intake (probably an 11-14 one) and 27 ft-lbs over a "common aftermarket plastic manifold upgrade". We all know they are talking about the FPRP Boss 302 kit from the Roadrunner engine. Though I'm sure this intake probably weighs a good bit more than the Ford Performance plastic offerings I suspect it will be popular with owners running nitrous, turbos, or centri-blowers. It should certainly handle a nitrous backfire better than a plastic intake.
Always a trade off....but personally I would much rather have an aluminum intake on my car like my 2003 Mach 1 instead of plastic.....just another way for manufacturers to cut cost & weight.....not on my car
Would be curious to see how a stock IM compares to similar mods that Edelbrock has listed on that dyno sheet. My guess will be a increase of low end torque and power with a sacrifice in top end (stock IM btw).
Not that I know of, ....the new coyote motors are obviously awesome & make a lot of power & plastics have there place , but not on the intake manifoldsWas there ever an intake purchased and dyno'd? I would like to see that.
Yes....I would love to drive one , but out of my price range.....The gt-350 mani is the way to go, no loss in low end big gains mid to upper rpm's.
I threw a gt350 setup together for 1100 and put 442 to the tire, worth every penny.Yes....I would love to drive one , but out of my price range.....
Personally , I would not have a plastic intake on my car....just another way for manufacturers to cut cost & weight...aluminum wins the trade off
No.....I understand those reasons , but just think because of heat the intakes will crack too easily & should remain aluminum or titanium...maybe if they have an inner lining they are ok?Yes cutting cost, weight and reducing heat soak is totally dumb.

No so fast - a couple of things. First the stock intake weighs in at 16#'s the Victor is 14.5#'s.My engine runs at well below the melting temperature of a composite intake manifold. Not sure about anyone else's. My CJ is doing just fine, and I certainly wouldn't want to throw a heavy chunk of metal right on top of the motor when a lighter composite piece works.
I know we all know more than Ford engineers, GM engineers, and every other engineer out there, but I think composite intakes have been pretty well proven in the field.
Are you still using this intake. I am building a twin setup and want to push boost. People are saying boss intake but I think it is only good for about 20 psi.No so fast - a couple of things. First the stock intake weighs in at 16#'s the Victor is 14.5#'s.
Secondly it does not heat soak or heat up at much as the composites....it dissipates heat better.
Intake temp has been checked. It is cooler.
Stock - 146 degrees at the top and 161 degrees at the manifold to head junction.
Victor- 128 degrees at the top and 150 degrees at the manifold to head junction.
All this being said I have one....I made a lot of changes to the car including this intake. It pulls to 7500 no issues, no drop offs. With a little ole P1 Procharger at 10psi the car did 752/630 on E85. Plus it fits under the strut brace and looks awesome!
