Pros:

Jost received the intake and haven\'t installed yet. But it is a beautifully designed high quality piece. Install looks easy and fuel rails are a nice touch.
|
|
Cons:
|
One review I read from 5.0 magazine stated the fuel pressure regulator was included- but it was not, so that is one more piece to buy.

Very happy with the design. BBK has done a great job with this one. Waiting to see how it reacts on the dyno. I am running a stock 5.0 block in my 92 Coupe, with edlebrock heads, c&l mass air, stock cam, stock throttle body, and 160hp nitrous. I am excited to see what kind of power I get out this new intake.

Hi. I have an SSI manifold on a Ford crate engine in a kit cobra. I figured at 350 horse and 2200 lbs. it should move, and I wanted the latest greatest manifold. Unfortunately, what moved was coolant through the manifold in a fissure and leaked out by the #4 cylinder manifold bolt. Also I have to mention the spacing on the fuel rails does not match the spacing on the intake ports so the injectors are not parallel, and they leaked gasoline on the intake manifold. This was after I spent 2 hours grinding casting flash out of intake runners to improve flow.
I contacted John Brockman at BBK who has been very gracious and helpful. I boxed up the manifold and fuel rails to return to BBK, but FedEx has no record of a request to pick it up for a return to BBK.
I have been trying so hard to get this car together and now I am stuck with a manifold that leaks. I have no other recourse than to sue BBK in small claims court.

It looks good so it got a 1... just don't add coolant or fuel.

Fuel Rail Cross Over leaks - Customer Service Horrible
|
|
I had purchased this product from Summit racing. I have had 2 shops work on the car, and finally after working with Bryan Rogers from BBK (who suggested) a cross over braided line setup, which i did and paid an additional $300 for.
The intake leaks and is a complete fire hazard, be warned! I made posts both on stangnet and stangfan regarding this intake and their own staff called me a liar!

This is where i started my story on the issue. Stay away from this product, it is dangerous and could cause a car fire!!!

Fuel and vac leaks - need redesign
|
|
I have experienced similiar issues with the new BBK SSI intake as others posted. First the fuel rail cross over is a very poor design and it must be removed, tapped and plugged. Then add a flex line across the rails at the rear. Second the spacer between the upper and lower plenum has an alignment problem leading to sealing problems. This can be fixed by filing to properly aligne. Third and most important is the sealing problem at the heads. Due to the minimal amount of metal at the top of the ports there will be sealing problems if you try to mount to anything other than stock cylinder heads. I am using GT40X heads with taller ports and there is not enough metal contact at the top to properly seal the gasket. This new intake from BBK looks fantastic and was tested to outperform many others currently on the market - BUT BBK introduced this product before it was properly tested in real world applications. Their corrective action should certainly be a redesign and better quality control. This intake has the potential to be in front of the pack if improved. If considering purchasing this product be informed!!

this intake is awful. I was going to run the bbk fuel lines that com with the intake, but after stressful leaks i ended up running stock fuel lines. The intake sits back far and takes much uneeded room from the engine compartment.
After driving with it for a couple days my low end power was noticably gone. After taking off the TB i noticed the intake was floodd with oil. Taking this intake off and going with a Ford racing cobra.,

i had this intake on a modded 89 302 with pro-comp heads and an "f" cam. worked great looked great but could have made more power for the money as far as leaks go theres no problem with anything anywhere, teflon and silicon are an engine builders best friend. ive got a new set-up with 255lph pump and bbk regulator on a tfs track heat lower using the bbk rails i took the rails apart reassembled them retaping the threads "duh" and everything sealed up great there holding 50psi no problem!
