You could, but assuming increased airflow from heads etc, unless the F/P is increased or has larger injectors, it'd be lean at WOT... With larger inj and/or more F/P, it'll likely be rich on part throttle at lower rpms...

speed density with f-cam, idleing, imagine that. video done with cellphone, so it sucks.

It sounds INCEDIBLY unhappy. Speed density will allow some interesting cams to idle and rev...probably is they run rich at idle, go full rich too soon and you end up going lean as the RPM increases.

Just mass air the thing...it's stupid cheap and easy. That sure doesn't look like a GT40 intake...looks like an Explorer intake.

If it's SD you aren't going to be able to idle a "F" cam below 1100 and keep it running... It'll just load up and eventually die...

it will idle all day long at 8-900

it runs great actually. he is going MAF, one day, but not now.

an explorer intake IS a gt40 intake my friend. theya re the same, just the outside is cast different

An Explorer intake IS NOT the same as a GT-40 my friend. The GT-40 intake flows more and will support more power than an Explorer/Cobra intake. Not a guess, a proven fact.

The Explorer,Cobra,and GT-40 all flow very close to the same numbers.Not enough difference between them to really matter.The Cobra and Explorer are cast versions,the GT-40 is a tubular intake.They all share the same lower intake.The Explorer doesn't have the provision for the ATC sensor,the Cobra and GT40 do.No other intake is the GT40 except the GT40,although internally,they are nearly identical.I'm using the Explorer intake right now.

couldn't you add a vacuum pump and that would fix your idle problem when using a larger head/cam /intake or forced induction on a sd setup?

wow
go engineer that>easy. integrate it>hard

wow, right to instant dick mode, huh? There is a difference, and if the people you talk to don't know...well that's too bad for them. The cast explorer/cobra upper will NOT flow as much as the tubular GT40 uppper.

How about you try not to be an aggitator, and take the advice of people who know.

i'm not trying to aggitate anything, and what makes you think you know more than me?

They're not saying they know more than you, but these guys really know what they are talking about. Most of 'em have been around these cars longer than you and I have been around, and spent many days and months researching and applying their ideas to these cars, there is no point in arguing who is right/wrong. This forum is not a competition of who knows more, they are just trying to give you FACTUAL advice. And that is that... A gt-40 and explorer intake are different.

explorer and gt-40 intakes are very close. The tubular intake is better and alot more expensive. As far as price goes, I would buy a new chrome cobra upper rather then a tubular upper.

It wouldn't bother me to call explorer stuff gt-40. At that point your splitting hairs. Its like calling a 302 a 4.9 liter, even though that is what it is.

Your buddies mustang will idle if you put MAF on it.

There IS a downside to the tubular GT-40 manifold......There aint a lot of meat on it to port.....
