[QUOTE="Riddick, post: 15943407, member: 143188"] Not surprised they picked up 10-20 hp from an intake swap alone. I would expect the gains to be even more with a bigger throttle body. I just watched a "Cleetus McFarland" video and he picked up I believe 40 hp from swapping throttle bodies alone on his gen 3 crown vic project. Do the Whipple 2.9s suffer from the same heat soak issues? I find it odd we keep hearing how efficient this blower is now heat is a huge concern. No doubt the Cobra intercooler is small but I haven't heard of the 2.9s suffering from heat soak. This would worry me a little considering on the street and the track the car will be even hotter especially when doing pulls 1-4. Fact is the car needs a larger intercooler, anyone see how big the intercoolers are on the coyote 2.9s or even the new 3.0 for the 18s, things are monsters. Sorry I keep comparing these set ups to coyotes but crazy how much blowers have evolved. All in all I think the car did well, as mentioned if you throw in a set of bigger headers the car will pick up more power. Wonder whats causing the car to break up at the top of the power band, just solving that issue alone I bet the car will pick up 10-20 more up top. [/QUOTE]
