I need to find out what kind of intake manifold i should put into my car... I've been looking at elderbrock, and other's.. but which one gives best performance ? OR, should i buy something else before the intake?

Also, what kind of air intake should i put... i heard BBK has K&N Air filter, and a chrome pipe.. but rather then for show, which one gives best performance?

Was also thinking of buying a supercharger, like vortech... Should i wait untill later on, or get that now? (Between supercharge and turbo [twinturbo or single] which is best?)

I would if I were you JUST starting out.. buy a bigger MAF and TB .. prolly a 75MAF 24lb injectors and a 65-70TB and a CAM, the B303 w/1.7RR's makes and awesome street cam.. Great power down low, pulls till redline. and upgrade valve springs.. and if you had to have an intake I would get whatever was cheap.. (budget in mind here) the TrickFlow prolly. all this and just port the stock heads till you can afford some BIG DADDY's like AFR CANFEILD whatever HIGHPORTS what ever you chose.. 5 speed car.. 4.10 gear or 3.73's what else do you need..

stock heads. street oriented intake NICE cam.. gears.. RR's LOW 13's easy! add heads later 12.50's

Hell, you got $2,000-$3,000 grand to drop skip it all and go with a supercharger. I knew a guy running 13.1's with an A trim on a stock long block. Best bang for your bucks. If your gonna go with a turbo the twin setup is nice but you have to modify the chassis to fit the bastard and it leaves you no room. Single turbo would be a better way to go.

well, if twin turbo takes all the room....i dont want it =)...i still got plans..big ones... but in the case of single turbo, what should i get? supercharger or turbo? ... like i said, i was looking at vortech, theres a nice one that cost like 3,300 ... but i'd have to wait a bit for that... but i'm willing to wait (says it adds up to like 155hp and 125 torq...and if i'd get vortech i'd prob look into the Aftercooler System 35-100hp)

but anyways...what u guys think?
