^ that!!! I mainly just like the look of the Sullivan. The car will respond great in my opinion, at least enough for me! I'm excited to see the upper come together this week! I will post as soon as it's complete. Everything will be matte Black like the Valve covers.

Crazy you went to a 5.4L. Congrats! That's awesome.
As for as the Sullivan, like Badcobra said the auto will save you there if you have a little higher stall. If you had a stick, you might not like it. The intake plays a major role in how the car responds.
Edit: Oh, awesome you are going E85. You'll never look back!

Car is coming along great, did you ever get that lawsuit filed?
I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. I also have one lawyer that might take a look at it but I'm not sure if I'm going to pursue that are not.
I agree with the limited intake choice on a 5.4 engine. However a Sullivan intake on a 4.6 is not the best choice unless it is being spun to 8500. A ported short runner c intake is much better choice for the operating range of the stock ecu. A converter spec isn't going to change the mid range power production of the engine and that is what really determines the ET capability of the car. The Sullivan is a good intake in the right application don't get me wrong just sometimes not the best choice IMO. It does look nice though for sure.

I agree 100%. But the auto can make it somewhat better. There are some very fast Sullivan auto turbo cars that aren't spinning it that high. But wll matched to the combo would be best for sure.
The Australian Boss 260/290 has a pretty broad power curve. But I'm not sure how that would work with your cams and it might actually become a mis-match situation. I honestly think with the converter flashing and multiplying the torque, the Sullivan will work. It's a little better also because of the larger displacement of the 5.4L.
I would talk to whoever is building your converter. They should be able to hep dial it in. A stall "number" is kind of irrelevant when it comes to turbo cars because the stall actually changes as the boost kicks in.
Should be sweet dru!
