Mine is not on the car yet, but looks nice. Just don't want to do business with companies that screw our members.
ChicagoMike has the Gords. From what I have heard its one of the best ones. Search here or www.svtperformance.com.

I would say the Gords is the best unit out there. It's certainly the largest and has the most capacity. I went with the Afco unit and am happy with it's performance and the fact that it bolted on in about 30 minutes.dun4791 said:
It's easier to install than a Cold-Air Kit and my IAT2 temps are very consistent, even after a few back to back runs.
If you must have the best, then I say the Gords. If you want a nicely priced, easy to install piece that offers significantly better performance than the stock unit, you should consider the Afco.
My $0.02.
i have an early gords unit and the install was a snap. to do it over again i'd get one fan-ready and i'd buy the fan kit too.
im goofy. it takes five minutes to get the front bumper cover off and i swear its easier to install that way. but hey, thats me.
i have leftover gold coolant and a jug of distilled water; it only takes a small amount to fill the intercooler subsystem.
this is one of those mods where i'm not sure if i would have done it so early to do over again. its got a nasty point assesment. between the big fat heat exchanger and my subframe connectors with jacking rails, my lightly modified car fits in an autocross class against heavily modified cars. I would be way more competitive in Y/Stock or Y/Prepared instead of Y/Modified where I'm classed now. I guess that just means I need to exploit the rules and go for more mods!

There's obviously a lot more to this. I wish I knew but somehow don't think I need to.
I thought our units were very good, I remember reading that Ford gave us a good one so why is it that people upgrade?
Here again I thought the need for a bigger heat exchanger only pertained to 15+lbs of boost or more?
Please advise since like all of us I am tying to spend a little money getting ready for this season and if a 2.80 requires it then WTF I'll buy one EH?
