For now I'd go with the CTA Intake, then a street flight when they come out. I betting I'll see a lot of used CTA Intakes selling on Ebay.

Situation: Me + 2 passengers in my MTX - him alone w/ some luggage in his ATX. Result - me by more than a couple car lengths to the speed limit (on a track of course  )
f4g! Rub it in!  It sounds so nice and it obviously helps out power-wise. I want a CIA.

and reason ford is using the 2.3L mazda engine is better fuel economy and lower emissions.

I hear that the Zetec will be replaced with the 2.0L Mazda motor and the SVT motor will be a 2.3L Mazda motor. I could be wrong, but nonetheless it will no longer be Zetec. Did Ford drop my motor... Ummm NO! The Jag S Type, the Escape, the Jag X-Type, and various other Ford/Mercury/Jaguar products use the Duratec in one form or another (2.5L-3.0L). Ford did drop my car like a bad habit, but the motor (originally designed by Porche) is still in widespread use. I hear that Ford was having a hard time passing global emissions standards with the Zetec. Sounds like bang for the buck, the Mazda engines are better. Once again, I mean no pissing match. Just asking Kermit to not start sh!tty rumors about a (kick-ass) company like Street Flight before he or anyone know the whole story.

ALL Jags use a Jag designed motor.... there is no Duratec in them.... and hte others last I checked were 3.0 duratecs similar yet different.
and care to show us where you read about the 2.0 mazda being used and where they emission problems are... cause last time I took the actual tail pipe emission test I hardly gave any readings for emissions and that was last year.
