Does anyone one have a Typhoon intake manifold on their cars, Curious as to what you think of them. My car is in the shop now for one along with new fuel rails and larger injecters because on my last dyno run my injecters were maxed out.. I was looking at a F.A.S.T manifold but to me they look kind of cheap and cheezy. The typhoon with its satin or polished finish looks so much better. at least to me
From every post I've read about the Typhoon intake, I have yet to see one where someone made any gains from it. NOT ONE! And regardless of the FAST intake looking cheap, I have not heard one negative thing about it. I have read on plenty ocassions were there have been gains of 15+ rwhp on stock set ups with the FAST intake. I was going to ask you to post your new dyno numbers but I see that you're getting other upgrades as well so gains from just the intake is impossible.
I did some reading . NOT from the part makers,, Some claimed 15 HP gains from the fast intake, but I could not find anything from anyone who was doing a Typhoon intake only on their car to get any gains from them. And as far as the other things i am doing. you are correct in saying I won't know for sure what gains if ANY I received from the typhoon. All I can say is that there should be somewhat of a gain with the typhoon campaired to the stocker
I did find some interesting items a few minutes ago. They say with the Pro products intake manifold for the LS2 you won't find much of a gain on a stock motor compaired to about a 10-15 HP gain with the FAST intake. The Pro Typhoon does very well on Modified engines . Even the shop that is doing the install told me I won't be getting big gains with this new one but I will gain enough to show a difference on the dyno. I was not very concerned about a HP increase because I am already over 400 RWHP on a Mustang Dyno and for a strickly street car this is enough for me. The main reason I did it was too dress up the engine bay a little. With the Polished Intake, coated fuel rails and the addition of painted valve covers and painted Coils, the engine bay will look nice . I will post some pics when I get it back. It should be ready by around the 28th of this month.

If you're looking to dress up your engine bay the Typhoon will definitely do that. It is a good looking intake. I'll be waiting for the pics. I see you're going to paint the valve covers. What about the fuel rail covers?

The plastic fuel rail covers will not fit with the new manifold in place, This intake comes with new larger fuel rails that are red, so my shop is painting the valve covers and the Coils the same color, it will look nice because my car IS A YELLOW jACKET .

The fuel rail cover will not fit back on, the manifold is a big one and has a 96 MM intake
My motor is done, it looks great. I will try to post a picture of it on here. It will Go on the dyno tomorrow for a final tune and 1/4 mile simulation. When they down loaded my computer file in street tune, if you are driving at 50 MPH and nail the throttle it will drop down into 2nd and leave rubber like a mad man and do the same when it hits hits 3rd and 4th. Needless to say a bigger pair of NITTO'S are going on the back tomorrow as well.
MY numbers on the dyno today were 393 RWHP 429 Foot pounds of torque, On A MUSTANG DYNO, pretty good for a Automatic. if it was on a dyno Jet the number would most likely be about 50 higher in RWHP & RWTQ. The 1/4 mile simulation will be done tomorrow morning
