Edelbrock always makes high quality products. Scott Hyland Motorsports is the most knowledgable shop that I know of for 4.6 performance mods. They pretty much pioneered most of the aftermarket 4.6 performacne parts. I'm pretty sure that they have a website. ------------------ Alex Denysenko Co-Administrator and Moderator/ non 65-66 Mustang owner sensitivity co-ordinator NHRA/IHRA/SRA member NHRA and IHRA SS/LA National Record Holder '00, '01, & '02 Fleet of FoMoCo products including 88 ASC McLaren Mustang #28 Part time secret agent license #0089 Professional Manwhore The Barry of BarrysGrrl

If you're not supercharged the throttle body would be a waste of money. Any larger kills velocity. If you must get one, the FMS is the only quality piece out there. The shorties will give a few horsepower and are fairly easy to install. The long-tubes give great power on the high end but kill the low end, at least my MAC long tubes did. The screamed above 4000 but were much weaker in the 2-4K range. I switched back to FMS shorties and they help the low-mid range but not much help up top, of course that's why I got the Vortech. The long tubes are an absolute nightmare to install. It took me almost 2 full days with the engine mounts disconnected and the engine jacked up as far as I could get it. The only headers available for the 4.6 2V that I know of are: FMS Shorties JBA Shorties BBK Long Tubes MAC Long Tubes Hooker Long Tubes ------------------ Boss 302 & Saleen S281
