Trick Flow "R" Intake on a stock 88 5.0???
 

I like the Trick Flow "R" intake & was wondering would it work on my stock 88 gt.
I want to build my stang as follows:
Bassani 2.5" Off Road X-Pipe, 2.5" Cat-Back Exhaust, Flex-A- Lite Electric Fan, CSI Electric water pump, SVO 65mm Throttle Body & EGR, Crane HI-6 Ignition & PS-91 Coil, SVO Complete Mass Air Conversion, & Incon Twin Turbo Kit(Includes complete fuel system).
I like the Trick Flow "R" intake, but know it would probablly not add power until the Twin Turbo kit arrives.
Would it hurt HP & Torque? Would the car still be Driveable?

Any help apprecieated

No one knows anything about Trick Flow "R" intakes?
someone has to know?
Please post reply

you didnt mention what heads you plan on running? That will help out if you want a good answer... IMO the R is way too much for what you plan, even with TT I would go with that if you took it to the track more, but your combo sounds more like a street setup.

Yes it will hurt HP and torque. That intake is designed for smallblocks spinning to 7000 rpm, not a stock motor! Even a car with heads/intake/cam would have WAY too much intake with a TFS R. Stick with a Street Heat, it'll have much better street manners and there will be a significant gain over the stocker once the turbos go on. This intake is almost a touch big for a stock motor anyways.
