Default Ported and polished Intake

I finally got my ported and polished intake put on my mustang and found that there is a noticable power increase. Driving at 40 mph and then stepping on it it went to 80 mph in no time flat!

An automotive engine is basically an air pump. The more fuel and air it can pump the more HP it makes. Did you gut the lower? Or just port it out? Flow numbers are what it's all about. I just finished a D16 honda turbo V tech and dynowed it at a wopping 413 HP. The reason is the honda head flows like gang busters. Good luck on your build.

What can I gain from doing this? I'm thinking of grabbing a TB from the junkyard and slowly porting and polishing it to perfection if it's worth it. Or should I just get a 5.0 TB? If so then I can get it off any 5.0? does anyone know what's the real setup to attach this to work on a 2.3? Pics, video, etc.
