Since money is tight, I'd recommend going one of two ways. I port the stock lower intake for $100 labor + shipping - you'll have about $130 in it including shipping. If your engine is in good condition you will get about 20HP. I have many references and pictures. If you are interested, PM me with an e-mail address so I can attach the pictures. I attached one of one of my ported lowers next to a stocker.

The second is look for a good used intake. An Explorer intake from a 95-EARLY 97 will make as much power as a Cobra and can be bought for less. Cobra is also a good choice but they are typically pricier $250 and up.
About how long does it take you to do and get the heads back? Are you backed up in work or do you have openings? I have looking at having my intake ported. Let me know and I'll see what I can do. What kind of equipment do you use? Do you gasket match or do you have a standard size you open them up to? Sorry for all the questions, but most of them are a need to know kind of thing. Also, what do you use to measure them, calipers, inside mic, bore guage ect. Thanks and again, sorry to be a pain.
