460 Performance EFI Intake?

I posted this in the big block section also, but figured you guys would have some input as well.




I was doing a random googling for performance 460 efi parts, and this eBay listing came up... https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?m...2F153444099098

any of you guys running one of these? Ever heard of em?
Seems like I’ve heard a lot before that the stock efi intakes do pretty well, but was curious if anyone had some input on this.

Is there any more info on what they're claiming? I see they're saying 1.75 seconds off a 0-60 but the actual performance increase depends on where you're starting out.
If I did the math right assume they're starting off with a ~375hp engine (I doubt that a stock 460 gets 375 hp to the wheels but it's a starting point). To get 1.75 seconds off your 0-60 you'd have to add ~65hp, a roughly 18% increase in power. In dollars per hp that's $430/65 or $6.61/hp.

If your starting point is 300hp it would add ~40hp to get 1.75 seconds off. ~$10.70/hp

Could be legit but I doubt it. When you're buying new, you can guess in a range from ~$75/hp to a lot more. If Ford coulda bolted 65hp on their engines for what would have been pennies to them I'd bet they would have done it. Even in the 90s they were aware of how to improve air flow

My experience with folks selling performance mods is that they generally exaggerate (sometimes wildly) the performance improvements of their products.
Not saying it's impossible but i'd rate that as unlikely. But hey if it works sign me up! I'd bolt that sucker on today if it did add 65hp! even 40!

I'd love to hear from some other folks on their thoughts on this.

Here is their site. They have several interesting products.

https://460efiguys.com

I purchased their twisted smog kit, it did improve the overall performance of my 94 and allowed me to bypass the EGR and smog pump and gave me a small mpg improvement.

The claim of improving their 0-60 was on their modified truck, they make no blanket HP statements like you see on most BS products.
I don't know about the intake or throttle body set up, I have yet to try it, but based on my experience and speaking with Russell, I will be checking out more of their products.
Just because nobody else is doing it, doesn't mean it can't be done.

The single plane intake in the link-https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?m...2F153444099098- could add a bit more power in the upper rpm range when compared to the dual plane intake shown in the comparison photos.
The 460's were made more for torque then horsepower, and did a very good job of it, but about anything that improves flow also improves horsepower.

It's great anybody is doing anything positive with this gen engines/tech.

Looking forward to the day I get a 460 w/efi to play with.

I love grinding aluminum.

has anyone tried their throttle body? Seems like a inexpensive and easy way to pick up torque but you know what they say,”if it’s too good to be true….”
