No dyno, nor any tune yet; that is still to come. I am waiting till I finish all the engine mods before I get an SCT flasher.
I am suprised as to how well it runs un-tuned; i can tell the Ford ECU is hunting for a steady idle, however. It's just now starting to settle in.
As far as how the manifold works, this link shows it well...

Some thoughts....
-I have seen the swap going for $375-$500 complete on FF and the Jet. I have been on the fence for quite some time now, mostly due to the cost involved.
-I wasn't able to get the tubing, intake box, snorkel or MAF so I used what I had; it was recommended that I use the stock MAF and housing anyway.
-The best part is the dual runners; you get the low-end torque of long runners with the high-rpm hp of short runners.
-If someone can pick up the parts reasonably priced and they have a good mechanical touch it is entireably doeable in a weekend.
