There's more info on this intake in the March 2004 issue of 5.0 Mustang & Super Fords on page 130. It looks like a pretty promising intake. The article only deals with the lower as the upper was not yet finished at the time of print. The lower's runners all have a very straight shot and each one is identical in shape and length. Apparantly the runners will also be CNC finished (probably much like the Edelbrock offerings) The upper features a 75mm bore. The other interesting feature is the intake will be offered as a kit that includes high flow billet fuel rails. Due the design other aftermarket rails will not fit (the stockers will). BBK is touting this intake will exceed flow of the current crop of intake leaders bt 12%. Best feature though is the cost...projected price is $499 US including all gaskets and the trick fuel rails. The intake will also be offered without the rails so the price would probably be in the $399 US range I would imagine as just about all aftermarket rails sell in the $150 plus range. Street date is supposed to be this Month but BBK has yet to put it up on their site. Looking forward to seeing some dyno numbers compared to the other popular 5.0 intakes. I might consider upgrading to it if the numbers prove worthwhile. I like the looks of it as well.
BBK also says in the article they eventually offer a short runner version strictly for the racing crowd. They say it will resemble the eariler 4.6 Cobra or '00 Cobra R intakes with a bulbous bread box hiding velocity stack-like short runners.
