2 aftermarket intake manifold questions

Jeez, at least I have one guy who agrees with me. I never said the TFS intakes weren't good intakes, it's a matter of taste, and mine (good or bad) does not like the TFS, even though it outflows the Cobra. The price is awesome and was the main reason I considered it. I never said the Cobra was beautiful, but the used one i got was $279 cheaper than the Holley (which, while I like it, I think it is too big for my setup anyway) and isn't as ugly as the TFS. I'm not a guy that's into the whole "SHOW" thing but I do like a little show to match my go, so looks are a consideration.

Anyway, back to Rick's post. I agree with everyone else that if you aren't going to replace the heads don't bother with an intake, your wasting your $$. If you are and are on a limited budget then the 70mm is a good way to go, though a 65mm might do you better in the meantime. The best advice is to get a good isea of where you want to go with your combo and work toward it slowly. I bought everything I was going to need for a head, cam, intake combo before I made that major investment in January. There's alot of information on this and other boards you can research to help you make your decisions. Good Luck
