Default New parts for my 2000 mustang 5.0 setup
Well I just got some new goodies from ebay. upper lower intake and painted valve covers which I plan on powder coating before installing. the motor is currently running. probably won't gain much out of the switch but while it is out I'm gonna port and polish the new intake and match everything. Good deal or not so good? Only paid $50 for all 3 parts plus $50 for shipping.

those are stock 5.0 parts .....

with regard to performance not much will be gained even with porting those....

by advice cut your losses and dont put any money into the intake......

it really isn't worth a shitzu (puppy)


the valve covers can be made to look great......

a little sample of what i do......

that's what I figured. I was hoping they would be better than what was already on the car.

should have went with the gt-40 stuff. you can find upper and lower for 125-150 on ebay. At least youd see a gain there...

That is some nice work!!! I'm hoping to basically do something like that with these or atleast high heat powder coat. I'm not crazy big on chrome but those are sharp
