Which intake

84stangboy · 11-10-2002, 06:49 PM

I was wondering what would be the best intake. Edlebrock performer, weind stealth, edlebrock rpm.

It would depend on what you're trying to do, clearance issues, RPM range,supporting parts, etc. Can you give us an idea on the application?

Well, its for a basically stock motor, later on i will put more into it, but for now i won't really take my car over 5500rpm, and i want something that will really help my car in the top end.

The Trick Flow Street has a good reputation

What do you have done to your car? you really shouldnt buy an intake without new heads/head work.

I was gonna do intake cam and heads at the same time. Yes trick flow does have a good rep, but they are for FI, my car is carb

Personally, I have an Edelbrock RPM and I am really happy with it.

be sure to take into account what you have planned for modifications down the line. If you are planning something more radical to drive the top end side of the rpm band, you want to get an intake that will support you past 5500. Plan now and buy for what you are going to need in the end. Even if you leave a few HP on the table for now, you will gain them back and more when your mods are complete. Taking a systems approach is always the best way to design a modification plan. The carpentry adage of measure twice, cut once applies here- plan twice, buy once; and your wallet will benefit as well!

I have the holley systemax intake on a motor soon to be put in and we tried it out on my friends 91 lx and Holy S*it it hauls for a nearly stock motor it gave it a lot of pep and it was quick response and trq. where the best ive seen in any intake and ive tried quite a few. It will cost you 545$ but its worth it in my opinion and it has an opening for a 80mm tb if you ever go big. Other than this the second one we used was the rpm and it was great.

Hope this helps
