I sent in an SE manifold, and I got someone's late-model black SVT manifold back!! Dunno what happened to my crappy gouged up old one, but I'm keeping this one! Massiv. Damn, I'd be knocking at your door if that was my polished UIM. You aren't going to try to get it back to the correct owner? 2005 Ford F150 SuperCab FX4 1964 Chevrolet Impala SS 1998 CSVT: 354HP/328TQ @ 10 psi, now gone

I have one actually, but sold it, and sent my Cougar manifold in for this GB while I'm in the middle of my 3L build! Actually... my manifold is somewhere in transit, or finally at Jet Hot.

He said because of all the interest... and interest from Ford Racing (??), they've extended this GB another couple weeks!! Shipping mine tomorrow. Hoooraaayyy!!! Still hope for me!! Even after all the discussion, I'm still struggling to justify the expense ... will the extra flow really make any noticable difference in a car with a few standard bolt ons? I know heavily modded cars or you guys with FI will benefit nicely, but me? Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

If this will be the last mod for your car, or you don't plan any extensive modifications, then I believe that this will still provide a noticeable improvement for you. The UIM is one of the greater restrictions in the intake path (probably the greatest, short of the stock air box), so upgrading it in this fashion makes sense, mon ami. Now, if you are planning on doing other future modifictions, like ever getting headers, and an SVT TB, then I would absolutely JUMP on this. You don't want to be stuck with a crappy lo-flo intake as the major restriction to power in your otherwise hi-flowing system. Thus, if you're upgrading the air-path in the future (and be honest with yourself about whether you will do this or not), it makes total sense to do the UIM now. Especially from a cost vs. opportunity perspective. Massiv. 1999 Mercury Cougar V6.

I'm very possesive of my UIM Has anyone messured the final port size once you've gotten them back? I've asked that they max it out to the limits that Demon was so nice to determine a few years ago.

I measured all ports on all 3 when they came back. I have some numbers from before on mine and Pete's to compare too. I do not have the numbers with me but will post all 3 UIM numbers later tonight or tomorrow. I can tell you that the 2 '00 SVT UIM's were almost identical and the '98 SVT UIM seemed a little larger on all ports Scott Scott 2000 Contour SVT #1464 Mustang Dyno: 171.6hp/145.3lb Dynojet Dyno: 171.1hp/148.9lb 1989 20th Anniversary Turbo T/A "Indy 500 Pace Car" #1376 of 1550 All Original, 46k with a few mods 2002 F150 SuperCrew
