Intake Advice

89mustang · 10-02-2001, 09:10 AM

Okay im thinking my next mod for my car will be another intake, but what kind should i go with? I thought about maybe a GT40, but ive heard that Trick Flow has intakes that are better. Anyone got any ideas on what intakes might be the best to go with?

I would go with the trick flow street heat or if you have plans for more things later (like we all do)like heads ,cam so on and so on go with the track heat you might lose a little down low but in the long run it will be better because the street runs out of steam just over 5000rpm but the track keeps going ( I know this because I was talking to the dyno tuner at street stuff when I was thinking the same thing and they are the ones that dyno bob kurgans EFI Renag. car

I have had great luck with my gt40 intake but might not be enough for your combo. Whatever you decide, we are very unhappy with the tfs street intake and would advise that you go with the track heat or "r" intake if you go with tfs.

I'd change my heads before the intake, IMO (stock heads are probably creating the biggest bottle neck in your combo)! If you do go w/ an intake, get the Trick Flows, and which one really depends on your "master plan".

Well, I would like to run 11's-10's and still be reasonably streetable, my plans for heads were a set of Ford X heads. but for the time being im just looking to do something that will give the car better take off because the car has great top speed power.
