    I really admire the work you put in all the videos. I check for your new videos almost daily and always wonder what takes you so long. Everytime I see the new video I'm like "okay, this was worth waiting". The work you have to put in repairing the car and in addition to that, the work you have to put in moving and placing the camera so every bolt you touch is visible for the viewer and finally editing the video the way you do it (every transition, every splitscreen, all the bolts to mark and these things you do with graphs) must take hours and hours. I really appreciate it and hope that you'll keep doing such a great videos. Even though I don't even have a car, I always enjoy your videos, so one day I buy myself a car, i can do it at home just because of you. Thank you!

It took me three days working on the street but I am extremely happy with how much I learned and how good is the car now. you saved me at least 500 bucks. Thank you so much for all your hard work. 😃

    The fact that you didn't install the throttle body is actually insane. You're true to the viewers and do a lot for us rather than yourself. Yeah, it's not a crazy attachment / extra work to do it later but you're willing to do more work to help us learn.

    This is awesome! Crazy how much power it added on the top end for simply changing intake manifolds! It's also wild how different the engines in our cars are. At 6,000 RPM your Mustang has said enough, and from 1000-6000 RPM my S2000 is as slow as a Corolla. Awesome that there's such diversity out there in engine design!

About after a year, the heater hose nipple cracked off on my intake manifold. Besides all of the retro-fitting (because my car has the PI heads already) I followed it step by step and got it done--saved SO much money! Excited to get back on the road. Thanks Chris!

      @@cesarrobledo458 it's joke but ford designed these intake manifolds terribly. The 96+ 4.6 2v intakes were made out of plastic and that crossover that was leaking coolant was recalled. They kept plastic everywhere else, just not on that crossover. He has a PI intake from FORD FRICKING PERFORMANCE and it's still made of plastic.

    This looks amazing, Chris! Will you be installing the PI heads as well? I noticed the gaskets left a lot of room for bigger intake runner size and a lot of the increase in power is from the improved head design. Keep it up dude!

      Well you're adding a supercharger so doing the pi heads would be pretty pricey. The swap increases compression. Putting boost to that would mean forged internals, upgraded fuel system, and tuned for higher octane than even 93. Or e85 will do well with high compression and boost.

      ChrisFix but you can then make a video about installing a head gasket. With that cars past and the way it is driven now, youre on borrowed time. I think you should put on PI heads and get a new gasket so everything is solid reliable. Never trust rtv on those kinds of applications.

    Tip, if u dont want to cut a bolt for alignment, line them up and put extra rtv dots throughout the gasket to hold it in place. Thats how i did mine and it lined up with the coolant ports/ bolt holes almost perfectly
    Edit: would mention to sit something on gaskets while rtv sets before torquing down intake (pevents air leaks where gasket doesnt want to flatten out) I loved the dyno sheet in this video because the 4.6 community doesnt have a whole lot of actual before and after references for the npi intake vs the pi intake. cams, pi intake, injectors, and bigger maf will net you even more.
