Can anyone help. My car has a stock motor and I was woundering which intake w/ TB would make the best horsepower. I am leaning towards a Holley Systemax but I have heard they don't do to good on stock motors. These are the only performance MODS I have, I don't know if they will make a difference on intake selection. Thanx in advace.
*Full MSD setup. *94-95 130 amp Alternator
*Cold air
*JBA shorties, h-pipe, 2 Chamber Flows
*24lb.inj + 75mm MAF (Being installed w/ intake)
*190LPH Fuel Pump
*Underdrive pulleys
*Edelbrock water pump
*3-core aluminum rad.
*355 gears

if you're only going to do the intake (and not the heads or cam ever), it doesn't really matter, any intake is going to add the same 10 HP or so to a stock 5.0 HO

Edelbrock Performer with a 65mm TB....If you plan on putting aftermarket heads on in the future, then I would just buy the 70mm TB to save money....

I think this is a great idea. It would also save me a little money in the long run. I have also seen resolts when it was combined with a little port work and a pair of RPM heads. They were pritty impressive.

Does anyone else any ideas or opinions?
