Its like eating Ramen noodles vs having a steak for dinner if both are available. Just go with the higher quality food. Same goes with gas in your muscle car/sports car. Give the new engine the best gas and it will be much happier even if you dont notice it.
It would probably be really fast modified (tuning). I've heard mixed reviews about the reliability of the engines though. I like the truck though personally
Just get a good set of high flow filters and be done with it, it doesn't change the appearance but it'll run good and you'll save money. Hopefully you get the issue resolved!
Looks good, just enjoy the mod. Keeping a car stock is boring. As for the gains I doubt you'll have any but not all mods are done for gains. Nice work 👍
Cold air intakes don't do much at all for our cars. Maybe when tuning is available they can squeeze a little more power out by having one but sadly we are still waiting for tuning. Looks good though!
My previous car was a scat pack as well and the only thing I liked better in that car was the torque, otherwise the mustang is faster in the top end and more modern overall.
