Most of these were basically PE tables, if memory serves. Not sure if it's calibrated for the big VAM/IC, or not...

I believe you're referring to the 2.0 engine which was the basis for the YB (Cossie) engines and some Pinto engines, but not the same as the 2.3 used as the basis for the Lima.

This is Gillis' Mk II-- improved over the 1st Gen that worked so well for so many of us for so many years...

How so? NLA?

Look at the kind of power the rs500s were making in the British Touring Car Championship. Cars dominated with no issues whatsoever. RS500 shorty and RS500 intercooler should be fine for just about any modified xr4ti, even the big hp holset guys. This. ^^^ Plus, Mike's new shorty that's an inch thic...

I guess my other concern is the width, you stated it is wider, so I'd also possibly have clearance issues with the tires. The Scorpio I have doesn't have stock wheels, it has some that fit closely, so they are not the right size. Without knowing the specs on your wheel/tire setup, bear in mind that...

HPS does, that is the throttle body inlet if my poor memory serves correctly.

Yep-- closest to 60mm.

Edit, I think it's 2 3/8" = 60mm.....I've been thinking about that since posted originally.

Oh, yeah, total typo, definitely 2 3/8".

Haha... when not DD'ing a 30 year old XR4Ti, I DD a 30 year old Saab. Ain't no thing. I know. With internet parts sources and info, you can drive most any car you want.... Everyone ribbed me over a bmw I had a few years ago. All the same excuses, parts are too expensive, too hard to work on. I dug ...

Me being me, I'd probably use this as an excuse to do a V6 engine swap so as to avoid the complicated part.

"You cray-see!" But thank you...

Any differences/preferences of note?

Good job! Many overlook this, but I think it's helpful and finishes the job properly. The heat shielding provided should be adequate, and the cool air comes in through the stock hole(s).
