Default Custom intake manifold

So I just got the word from my shop Moore Performance that they are working with an engineer and want to use my car as a test car for a custom intake manifold. Its in the early stages and the car wont get fitted until late winter but it is starting. The plan is cast aluminum for the manifold with the option to expand to a turbo setup. Ill probably get custom carbon fiber intakes made while its in there because the engineer loves the VQ and likes to work with carbon fiber. Subscribe and ill post info as I get it

yea Pittsburgh CnC Pittsburgh Cars 'N' Coffee - Index page

sadly our last regular meet was this past Saturday followed by a Kart outing. 10/31 we are doing a trunk or treat show at quaker steak in cranberry. basically small show where we put out bags of candy for kids and do a mini trick or treat thing.

it's very big and the Z is towards the bottom of the totem pole of what shows up lol.

I used to go once in a blue moon to starlite with my dad or the mustang club but didn't even make it out there this year.

a few of my buddies in the mustang club go to that garage one often. I still haven't gone there yet.

the regular cars and coffee is always a treat. there's some cars you'd never think to see in this area that come out. P1, F40, lambos galore, GT-R nismos, every flavor of Ferrari, etc...

check out the pics on the site or youtube Pittsburgh cars and coffee and a million vids come up. even had my Z featured on DoctaM3's channel lol

back on topic for a sec: let me know when moore makes some headway with the intake and CF pieces. if they look good and make some power I may have to buy it.

with TB's your best bet is probably port and polish. not many if any options for larger TBs unless someone makes them for you.

make a build thread and keep us all up to date. welcome to the forum

here's some off-topic CnC vids for you.

I've been waiting for a while for one of these to hit the market. Looks like I have to wait a little longer. I better start saving money for it.
