This is really great info. I have the FP calibration kit with the GT350 intake. I was thinking the GT500 lid would fit on it too. That kit comes with an open top intake that seals to the hood. I don't mind that so much as the poorly implemented foam seal along the right side of the box (what Ford incorrectly calls an air filter #9601 ). How is that installed to create a good seal on the GT500? I thought I had mine correct but looking at your pictures I may have installed it on the wrong side of the intake housing! I situated the the foam on the outside of the box so the soft compressible foam would seal around the hole. Now it is tearing and the two foam halves are separating. I have had to use black RTV to close it up. My OCD won't allow me to leave it alone.
Air intake temperatures are quite likely higher with the open top seal. So I would love to close it all up good. But have my doubts now that I have seen the same shitty foam piece in use on the GT500 intake assembly.
Is this correct? I noticed there is a hard foam wedge on the back that looks like it is supposed to sit into the open slot that points downward. Couldn't for the life of me figure out how it was supposed to be so did I did it this way:
It's a really bad design. All because of that brace sticking out. Hopefully these pics are helpful for everyone. Again, I am likely using the foam incorrectly but it was the only way I could get it to seal.
