If you look at the combo its P heads on a 3.55 geared AOD. You need lowend torque. The P heads are going to create that. Sure other intakes flow better than others, but if you look at dynos on a heads/cam/intake stang, the explorer, gt40, edelbrock, and RPM all make almost identical HP, w/ the explorer and edelbrock making slightly more lowend torque. The street heat TFS is a good intake making about 8more hp than the others. The holley making much more, but lacking lowend and making it in the upper rpms. Its a stock cammed car w/ 1.7's, going to put the flow #'s of the holley out of reach, as its not going to rev high enough to take advantage of it.

Everyone can say how much their intake helped, and how great it was, but have you compared it to anything else? Most every aftermarket intake out there is good, it needs to be matched to your application and desired results.

Btw a intake isn't going to add ~3mph to your 1/4 mile time on stock heads, that was definatly driving/weather/tune.
