And you should be able to knock down 18-20 mpg, and run the thing for 75-100k without a problem.In hindsight, if I had a NPI GT again, I wouldn't even goof around with a Vortech, or intake swap's. I'd get the 5.4, rebuild it, get a set of custom gound cams (you can use narrower LSA on the bigger 5.4), longtube's, a mid pipe, and a 3200 rpm converter if I had an auto. And I would kick major ass on the street, regardles if I had a big peak number to brag about.</blockquote>
