Right now i know my cobra intake is holding my afr 165's back. So the question is what would be the best possible intake for my car, what would be too much intake and kill it? Ive been debating between a few. Im going to put in an ed curtis cam at the same time. My car is very torquey right now...all low end power especially because of the c-4 3500 stall. So i fry the tires on the street and it doesnt pull that hard up top. I also ordered a 76mm maf sensor because i still have to stock one. I went a 12.57 @ 105 with a 1.68 60ft still spinning some. Heres the intakes ive debating between.

1. Systemax
2. Trick flow track heat - ported to a fel pro 1250
3. waiting for the new RPM 2
4. saleen intake
5. any other intake is also a possibility

what intake would be optimal to get the most out of my set up? Ported or unported?

thanks for the help

Any of those intake would work well with your combo, just pick the one you like best. Personally I think the Holley doesn't look that good and the new RPM 2 is growing on me. I say it's all matter of personal likes, since they will perform close to one another. Probably close enough the, seat-of-pants meter couldn't tell.....

I just got the Track Heat. I havent put it on yet but I cant wait !!!!!. You will have the same setup as I do. I think the Holley is too big for a N/A 302, 306 setup. Ther Performer RPM is great but a little pricey for what it is. The new RPM II would be perfect but wont be out for several months. By the way, the Track Heat is already port matched to a Felpro 1250 gasket. I got the Track Heat because it was not that pricey and will do just as good or better than the RPM. Just my .02 cents.

This is the track heat intake that i was talking about that says it has been ported to a felpro 1250. What is the port diameter on the track heat unported? 1.05" x 1.88"???
