19# injectors, HO upper, and 65mm explorer TB are already on the car

i'm going to also be putting a 2.5" h-pipe with flowmaster 40's dumped in front of the axle in the next few weeks.

Is the opening of the upper intake matched (as well as the throttlebody spacer) to the throttlebody (65mm)?

the upper i think is bored out to accept a 70mm (my brother started on it for his mustang, but ended up getting an explorer intake instead) my EGR spacer is matched on the inlet side to the TB, but the intake side is still stock sized, i'm going to open it the rest of the way up though.

upgrade your springs, change your push rods while your at it. If your able to and have the hole thing ripped apart anyways, you might want to think about head gaskets, and maybe some gt40's. The explorer intake is also a worth while upgrade. The biggest bottle neck in the stock H.O. intake.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.
