Dan-O- Well write us a little report. How was midrange, top end. Did you get all the bugs out where it worked smoothly.
Phongshader-thanks for the report keep us posted.
Focus wrc07- Yeah I saw that commercial again last night I remembered everything but the brand. It was a debate that or starting the space ship.

I made a couple tiny steps more progress. I picked up the spectre 4 inch to 3 inch adaptor in black. See the pic below. It is attached to a 4 inch flange inlet from spectre that is made for GM MAF sensors. The 3 inch Focus sport bend is also attached. I will cut this pipe to get my neccesary bend. This will hookup to the already installed customized Cosworth Cold Air Intake.

It is interesting that guys with single throttle bodies see value in cold air intakes, but once you start to put on the quad throttle bodies suddenly "there are no gains." I believe gains will be on the same order for both systems compared to drawing hot under hood air. I don't see why "mixtures are going to be all over the place". The MAF will control the mixture. It will sense different air flow at the speed of sound. The electronics don't feel like they are slowing things down now except for the return to idle.

I got a replacement intake manifold gasket set. As they are individual pieces it was not much help in figuring things out. I assume the two blue seals are around the EGR.

There is about 9 inches of clear space in front of the engine for the intake. Maybe 10 inches. The upper tubes in the photo will neccesarily be short rather than the 3 or 4 inches shown. I can gain a couple of inches by moving the engines radiator fans forward, but would rather not.
