They did the run with the TF intake.With pricing it out, a believe that they ran it through the dyno without the TF Intake Manifold.
So the..
$2000=heads
$250=plenum
$600=Cam/Valvesprings etc.
$3000 after some little things....plus installation.
The TF intake would definitely increase the torque with the much longer runners too!
I wish I could have seen it!
Here are some shots from the show:

I saw the episode and I am very curious. I would like to know how it would effect the driveability. Does anyone have these heads?
A lot of people say it would be better to get a blower and if your goal is upwards of 400Hp than probably so, but they forget one thing. A car with a blower is one detonation away from blowing the stock engine. If you don't have the money for a new engine or for forging your engine, than I wouldn't play with forced induction. I would love to s/c my stang, and while I could afford the $4k for the s/c, I can't afford a new engine or a forged engine. I already know that a s/c car can be very safe, but it still can blow the engine, nothing is %100. Yes, I have heard of all the people that say they have s/c and they have been fine for years, but for how many miles. Mine is a daily driver and I put roughly 18,000 miles/year on my car and currently have 136,000 on my 02. I put more miles on my car in one year than some people have on their cars. N/A is a great way to go for those of us that use our cars as dd and don't need 400Hp. Sorry to rant, but people often forget to add the cost of a new engine or rebuilding one when comparing s/c to n/a.
I am thinking now of a GT for DD cause I can find low mile 02-04 GTs for under 7 grand. Figure another $2500 (if I shop and be patient) for the H/C/I and I can have a powerful reliable DD for well under 10K that has the good looks of a Stang
