wow this is exhaustive trying to figure this out.
these are the numbers i got...who can convert this?

The car has 21lb injectors

120hp(rw est.) x 0.5(bsfc)/8(injectors) x 0.8(duty)=9.7656 lbs/hr
9.7656 x 10.5(cc conversion)= 102.5388 cc/min

190hp(Factory rating) x 0.5/8 x 0.8= 14.84375 lbs/hr
14.84375 x 10.5= 155.859375 cc/min

I was doing some research on intakes and found that the ford truck intakes have dual intake runners(long/short) that boost tourque numbers in the 1500-3000 rpm range. Would this bump in power hinder the mpg with the switch?
