Re: xf inlet manifold

to get that sort of hp out of a na motor u would really need your engine pulled down and taklen into a speedshop and let them go nuts and it would not really be a streetable motor,

if you want a big hp engine and to drive it on the street then u would probly best going a trubo crossflow. turbo wil lbe the easiest and cheapest way and your car would be more streetable than a serious n/a motor.
go talk to your local speed shop tel lthem what u wont and ask best way in which to do it.
with big hp u have to keep in mind alot of planning and designing is involved to get all the parts working well with each other.
if i were you and were serious about getting this hp then i would invest in efi and not carb then go turbo and a serious bottom end to handle the boost that you will be sticking into it.
keep in mind u would need after market ecu's and thats good money and plus all the machining and turbos, internal engine parts, manifolds and pipes and tubing and thsi is just the begining, u would be looking at least 10-12k on the setup. big hp costs big money.
