Sullivan Intake Manifold
I want to put a Sullivan Intake Manifold on my 5.4L and want to know if it will be a worth while purchase.. I have done some research, but haven't satisfied myself with it yet.. any personal experiences with this manifold would help.. thank you
I have a S&B intake system and a 80MM throttle body, and a smaller crank pully

^ They never put a 5.4 in a mustang that I knew of...so why are there 5.4 versions of the Sullivan???? 
Except the 2000 R...and I wouldn't put a sullivan on that over the stock intake which kicks mucho ***...
The sullivan is a great intake for ppl that wany to achieve high flow at high rpm or someone looking for short runner length to spray a large nitrous shot or someone who can make up for length of runners with boost. Like I said...when used in the correcto combo, it is worth it.
If I had the money and not flat broke right now, Id throw a 5.4 4V in my 04 F150, with a sullivan and twins...but I want GOBs of TQ with this thing, and a longer runner length would prove more benfitial to me than shorter.
I had/have this manifold on my 4.6 builds, and when I was TT, I still made 540ft lbs of tq with it. And that was with box stock 03 Aviator heads and bone stock Sullivan intake manifold...put that same combo on a 5.4 and the TQ numbers will increase...

I saw your thread om MR, nice little truck.
I'm browsing for a Navi engine, but they are very pricey around here.
Have you seen anyone rework the stock Navi intake? I have only seen pictures of one and not in person yet.
I would think that the lower plenum would need to stay to get these heavy beasts moving?

This is why I plan on staying completely stock...save for MAYBE a 5.4 swap and a turbo...and VERY small turbo...something that runs out up top...give me LOTS of TQ and no HP...
Thanks. I like the truck too.

Ehh...along with more heat. And TQ/HP loss with turning the blower. DOn't get me wrong...I LOVE the sound of a TS blower...but turbos are all around better...save for the awesomeness of TQ at idle! lol.
I am mainly going turbo cause its cheap for me to find a ebay turbo and build my own kit VS a KB or Whipple setup...plus...look at all the diesels...don't see TS blowers on them, do ya.
