![]() I recently bought an 88 5.0 lx vert and have been looking to do some mods. I already have cold air induction and i want to add an intake next. The problem is which one to add? The Cobra intake, Gt-40intake, Edelbrock Performer intake or a Trick Flow Street Heat? Any experience with these. Which one gives the most bang for the buck? Also when i drive i can hear something knocking, its not like i threw a rod though. Its more like the front calipers are lose and are rattling, but i checked them and they are tight, also i can feel it in the pedal when i brake from about 60 mph + . And it only does it sometimes not all the time, but there is always a definent knock when the brakes are applied and released. What do u think new pads? Well any help would be greatly appreciated. THANKS!

![]() Getting an intake will not give you any extra power with the mods you have now. It would just be a waste of money right now. With stock heads/cam and no power adder, it will only hurt your low end torque.
Your best bet and bang-for-your-buck would be gears, headers/exhuast/pulleys or any other bolt on part.

![]() I agree. without a new set of heads or a port/polish job on the one you have, getting abigger intake won't do anything for you. Try pulleys/gears/electric fan/traction bars or go get your heads ported and polished. That alone will help you out immensly.
