does gt40 intake work with sn95?

daz95gt · 01-11-2001, 09:13 PM

Hi, I have a stock 95 GT (except k&n with silencer removed & dynomax ultra-flo muffs) and I'm planning to get rid of that restrictive stock intake manifold. So I've seen GT40 intake manifolds on sale but those model year compatibilities reaches just up to -93 at least on summit racings online catalog. Does these intake manifolds work with sn95 stangs? Do they need any installation items etc?

I've also tried to clear up edelbrocks adapter needs for performer rpm intake manifolds (or even a performer) on sn95 but those listings just screws my head and I really don't know what of those kits and adapters are necessary to have. And I read somewhere also that at least performer rpm wouldn't fit under stock strut tower brace?

I would really appreciate if someone could recommend a decent intake manifold (with part numbers) that would fit under stock tower brace for sn95 with all gaskets and items needed for direct replacement of original intake manifold. Is there any? I would not like to order incompatible parts all the way up here in Finland...

Thanks for your help, Daz

Sure it will work.
You need an adapter for the throttle body...
The bend that it makes.
Other than that..t.b is same too
the adapter just makes the bend.
cobra, gt-40 should fit under brace no problem, but i don't have one so???

I thought the 94-95 cars had a lower hood so they used a thunderbird style intake. I've never seen one though so I don't know.

Yes, it will work. You need the intake elbow and there are no hood clearance problems. any other Q's E-Mail me I have one on my car.

What about Comp polymers upper powerbox? That would be about half the price gt40 upper&lower intake costs so that would be an option too. Is the most restrictive part of system that upper intake or is it really recommended to change both of those to gain any fair hp ratings? Those parts costs over 2 times more for me when shipped and taxed than they would cost to you in states so the bang for the buck is really an issue.

I would get the GT-40 or the Edelbrock. With the comp box intake you would end up losing low end power. Box intakes make more high end power, while the GT-40 will make power from idel. Change both the upper and lower though the lower is more restrictive. Look for a used intake, that will save some money. Good luck!

One other thing, the stock strut tower brace will NOT work with the Edelbrock intake. I'm not sure about the GT-40.

What I did was to leave the intake and heads for one of my last mods b/c although you will see gains with them, you will gain much more with a good supporting team of parts. for example; get a set of 3.55 or 3.73 gears, throttle body, 75mm pro-m bullit mass air sensor, pulleys, full exhaust(from the headers back), a good shifter like a pro 5.0 shifter or steeda tri-ax ...,fuel pressure regulator and a fuel pressure guage to monitor and fine tune your fuel pressure. Then,I would add the intake and heads to see a huge gain in performance. With the addition of heads and intake with stock parts is useless without a good supporting cast. Sure it will take longer to do it this way but the gains per part(heads and intake)will be much more dramatic. At least that's what I did. By the way, save for a set of good tires b/c you'll need them for traction. In between performance parts, get some rear upper and lower control arms. What I did to select performance parts was to buy a notebook and write down my "wishlist" of parts and put them in categories like suspension/engine/drivetrain...and work from there. But I have to warn you, once you start you'll never stop. Later.
