Actually he would gain some TQ from the smaller runners but overall the intake has less potential than the truck version and it complicates wiring and cable connections so that's why I said don't bother.

Not really wiring if you understand the differences. But then again I'm a 3rd year electrical engineer. But I did state the longer runners the truck intake have are a better optimized balance. Or I didn't. But that's why you see most aftermarket lowers based on the truck intake. Holley comes to mind.

Or in other words you know just enough to be dangerous. 
Ohhhhhh.. I'm just bustin your *****.. electronics technologists like jabbin engineers like that.. just havin some fun no disrespect intended. Stay in school.. you can't go wrong with an engineering degree. 
Now this is where we start splitting hairs, the reality is there's only about an inch difference in total runner length between the car and truck intakes so they're "tuned" to roughly the same rpm range. As mentioned the runner size is the big difference and that's why the car version makes more TQ, but it's also why this intake is quickly ditched for something aftermarket when guys start building up their stangs. The 5.0 truck intake is a bit of an anomaly really, it's much too big for a stock 5.0 motor and would be more at home on a 350hp 5.8, the stock 5.8 intake is smaller if you can believe that, so it's anybodys guess how it ended up being produced.

Meaning in another year a full-fledged one? Curious, do you feel, or know, whether E.E. has changed in content with the monstrous changes which have occurred technologically in Electricity and it's uses in the past 50 years or so?
Certain things have not, like power transmission, except that today D.C. can and is used, to avoid all those A.C. added losses. Very significant strides have been made industrially: great big A.C. motors can be "ramped-up" to speed under load at programmed rates (so-called "soft-start"). You will likely never get to feel the electrical "thrill" of pushing a start switch on, say, a 300-H.P. HVAC Chiller Motor, where many seconds of time are needed to bring the thing up to speed, the in-rush current at first being high enough to frighten the observer by the sounds created......typically those things were fed 1/2 the run voltage, to get them turning, then switched to full line voltage.
Been there, and miss it! impish
