You will need an intake with an "open-air" filter.

I think it's a combination of the alternator and what kind of belt that you are running. I've got an alternator overdrive pulley and a Dayco Polycog belt. For the winter, I put my stock crank pulley back on. Now the alternator screams. I'm guessing it hits 15k RPMS or more.  BTW, the Gatorback that I had on seemed to be a bit louder. BP

Not really....never used a Gatorback. Just your standard groove belt. Also I had the stock alternator.

my car does that too, i thought it was a bad timing belt or soemthing about to break. my car used to do this weird thing when it was accelerating on the highway, it would be all slow, and then all of the sudden as soon as it got to 4000 rpm, it got a huge boost of power. any ideas?

First off, nice name Rusty, lol.
Second of all welcome to the site, now on to the question.
It's normal, mine does the same thing the Zetec is sluggish on start but once it gets going, it's pretty quick. Also when you take off from a stop do not floor it, it takes off a lot better if you don't.

Try cleaning your MAF. It sounds like it isn't being very responsive. Either that or it's a "slow" oxygen sensor that needs to be replaced. (They get clogged over time and don't respond as quickly.)

noise coming from a timing belt means its too tight (if its a brand new belt)
