347 Stroker Advice on Intake
Hello everyone, I have a 347 stroker that I built on a budget. We do the best we can. Now I have a bit more cash and was wondering will a new intake benefit me at all? Everything will stay the same and my heads are the best I can afford. Time (3 kids)and money is a factor so the heads are staying.
Do you think a new intake would help me squeeze some more power under 5500rpms. I dyno'ed (MD) 327RWHP and 357RWT. I would like some real world experience advice if possible. It is a street car but find i run out of power quick at 4500rpms. Thanks in advance.
Elde Performer, performer 2
Track heat.....etc
Here are some of my mods:
347 stroker
10.25.1 compression
Y303 GT40 turbo swirl cylinder heads
Comp cams custom ground cam shaft (similar to Ecam but 347 friendly)
1.7 Ford motor sports roller rockers
Cobra upper and lower intakes
IAC spacer
24lb injectors
190 litre per hour fuel pump
adjustable fuel pressure regulator
70mm throttle body
Mac cold air intake
75mm Mass air flow sensor
MSD 6A ignition box
MSD blaster coil
under drive pulleys
Aluminium drive shaft
3.55 rear end gears
Exhaust
Mac 1 5/8 equal lenght headers
Mac 2 1/2 in pro chamber H-pipe
Mac 2 1/2 cat back exhaust

I've been out of the fox cars for a while now but I knew a few guys on a budget that used a Professional Products intake with alot of time porting and had good results. They are more or less an Edelbrock knock off. I'm thinking the heads may be holding you back as well but I'm no expert.

another option - you could always look into a explorer upper lower intake - on a budget they're dirt cheap - flow better than Cobra intakes and are fairly cheap if you know where to look. and they'll be port matched to your heads!
