[QUOTE="DeepImpact, post: 16090889, member: 190685"] I am leaning towards the ported 18 IM for cost and to keep CA smog compliant. I figure they won't even know I swapped the manifold if I go with an 18. I fought smog enough with my Foxbody. I don't want to deal with that battle again with the 14. I am just afraid of torque loss at 4k rpm. I want it to have a good punchoff at 4k rpm and I don't want to have to launch it much over 4krpm. I hate sitting there on the line over 4k waiting for the light. Will a ported 18 intake give me 2mph and 2 tenths in the 1/4? If so, then I'll go for it! Price has gone up, unfortunately. The ported version seems to not lose as much torque. I don't know how high in rpm I can go and still get the stock clutch to work. I shift right around 6900 rpm now and cross the line at 6600rpm. Since I am only at 6600rpm when I cross, I am not sure how much the intake will help in 4th. [/QUOTE]
