[DeTomaso] Blue Thunder intakes are available... Kind of

[Mike Drew]

I forgot to mention that I was turned on to this intake after a defunct magazine called Super Ford did a comparison dyno test and it came out on top (circa 1993). Dan and Dave did a similar comparison a couple of years ago, where my 408 stroker served as the mule for ten or more intakes, and it again came out on or near the top.

It worked great otherwise, but further benefited from some porting work, as one half flowed slightly better than the other. Porting the 'weak' half brought all the numbers up so it was uniform. Dave McClain did that work and it was fairly cheap.
