RE: The only alum. intake that passes for stock is a PI. [n/m]
By Jeff H. - 06/06/2003 10:04:58 PM; IP 172.196.226.143
But only if you paint it Ford dark blue;-). I plan on purchasing a Blue Thunder M/R intake for my 428 street/strip 69 R-code 'stang build, painting it Ford dark blue, and telling all the chevy/mopar guys it is a stock 428CJ intake. They'll never know the differnence. I almost can't wait.

This 428PI intake is basically identical to the 428CJ cast iron piece so there is only the weight savings that makes it superior to a cast iron CJ manifold. Anyone serious about top-end performance (and who isn't?) should consider either the edelbrock rpm or the Blue Thunder offerings. I hear that the Blue Thunder is slightly better from mid-to high rpms. It is also at least $100 more expensive! One more thing that I have heard is that the RPM intake puts the carb too far back for shaker mustangs. Also the BT intake puts the shaker in the right spot but higher by over 1/2".
This thread, so far...
