2 aftermarket intake manifold questions

[chris91LX]

I personally don't like the Trick Flow intakes simply because I think they are ugly, they flow great numbers but I couldn't drive around with that thing being the most visible part of my motor. Whatever, anyway are you running the stock heads or do you have a set of heads already. An intake is not going to help much, if at all, until you get some better flowing heads. I picked up a used Cobra for like $200 and had a friend of mine port it and with edelbrock heads and a tfs stage 1 cam my combo produces 282rwhp and 315lbs or torque and that's without a tune. If you are set on getting a new intake and don't have heads go with the Cobra it'll work better with a stock combo and you can port it to support more than 400hp. (Plus it looks better) Just my.02

Oh yeah you can port the tb opening on the Cobra to match a 70mm tb really easy with a dremel or die grinder, I did it on my stock intake to match a 65mm tb. Take you about an hour.
